i had just told daddy about kids with night terror and how we need to handle it SHOULD it happen to chloe. i guess it's really just very PANTANG to discuss such things in front of the kid; and just before bedtime too!
it all started around 230am when chloe woke up; asking for milk.
after that, she just couldn't sleep - and started to tell me things like "fall down", "scared fall", "come already" and worst part is; she has a NAME for her night terror imagination - Ah Yee SkyDer.
i dun know what she was referring too and had asked her who was Ah Yee SkyDer.
she didn't know how to answer; of course but ended up just curled up next to me with her beanie pillow covering her face and kept saying that she's SCARED. and that went on for almost 45minutes...
in between those LONG 45minutes before she finally felt back to sleep - i said a prayer with her, softly whispering the same night-time lullaby for at least 30 times (hoping she will fall back to sleep) but she always told me : "mamii, come already... scared!" and at one point, i told her to tell the 'whoever' that is bothering her to GO AWAY. and yes, she did... and she even shouted 'GO AWAY' loudly at least 4 times on each occasions. but it was a little scary even for me as at one point she told me there were TWO of them after saying again 'come already, scared!' with her eyes OPENED.
sigh... i hope it is not something 'dirty' that she was seeing... i really hope it's just her imagination gone super wild!
whatever it was; i will make sure that it does not repeat itself again tonite.
any parents have experience handling/dealing with your kids' nightmares, can share with me your method to resolve it?
