hi\nbeing a doctor i would say that your girl needs emotional secrity\nusually it happens with emotionally insecure people and can occur at any age and to anyone\nbe yur child friend,,discuss what she like and what she hate,,what is most irritating factor for her,,what she wants most,,\nis there any problem with her friens or in school\ndoes she remember any kind of incident which she saw somewhere,,,or just try to find out what is going on in her life,,\nnever ignore her,,let her say things accordingly\ndont be rude and angry too her,,never pamper her,,\nMOST IMPORTANT IS SPEND TIME WITH YOUR KID,,THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT PART ,,WHICH PARENTS MISS OFTEN,,\nsometimes this would be enough\nbut if it doesnt ,,then go to her school and meet her teachers and friends,,and ask whether her behavior is normal in school or not\njust find out everypart of your childs life ,,but make it sure dont show to your kid that ,,u r suspecting something in her,,\nthen consult a child psychiatrist,,for further evaluation,,,\n          THANK YOU VERY MUCH

just stay calm, od'tn bring up her mood shifts and do whatever she needs you to to help out.  I'll bet she goes back to normal after having the baby.

What does your child say she is screaming about? That is what you need to find out first. If she can't answer that ,then you need to get in to a doctor pronto. Yes, it can be related. Brain damage, even very slight damage, is easier to get than most folks realize. Get her checked out, hope all becomes well.

Have you spoken with your doctor about this?  Perhaps you need to stop nursing and give her a bottle before bed.  Make sure she is good and full when she goes down?  I'm thinking she's just hungry and needs more food before bedtime.  But, I am not a doctor.  So I suggest you talk this over with her pediatrician.

Hi.. I would suggest that you go to your family doctor and let them know of your concerns.  There might be something wrong with her or it could be her imagination... I work as a LPN on a psychiatric unit  but we only have adults here and I don't have that much experience dealing with children but I think that the first step for you would be to get her to you family DR ASAP. \nI hope that everything works out for you.

maybe you should ask her to describe on what was her nightmare about and does it happen everyday from then on? and how long does the nightmare last each time?\n\ni don't think that the nightmare happens due to the surgery but instead its some psychological problem.\n\nmoreover, you can get some advice with the doctor.

Talk to parents.  I know it's hard but try to ignore her by not being around her.  Sounds like she is very unhappy and becoming a bully.  Try to talk to her about how you feel too, but definitely let parents know of her abuse.

this is a serious problem, she needs to speak to someone likt a counsellor and see whats wrong with her, she aint happy. and she knows she is being a b1tch. try and sit her down and talk to her, something is affecting her.

Wow, I can totally relate to your problem... I have some pretty bad dreams myself! I had one the other night.. it was so scary, and I woke up at 5:30 in the morning just to get out of the dream! \nThat is what I do most of the time, I force myself to wake up, and sometimes it's only after it's gotten worse! I wondered how I could get through the previous parts without waking up... but when I do wake up, I usually get up quickly, to try to chase the memory of the bad dream away! It works most of the time...  There was an old saying once upon a time about what to do about nightmares... "take a bale of hay to bed with you to feed them!"  ;0)  Seriously though, I have found out that the most frequent nightmares are from when I am eating close to bedtime!\nIt's mostly sweets too... so I have had to cut back on those darn things and not eat so late at night.  I have also found that when I wake up from a nightmare, I am usually on my back... and I hate that... So I try really hard to stay on my side, or my stomach! I know it's not like I can control it when I'm sleeping.. but I do try! \n The meds are supposed to help you relax and sleep, but there is a potential for addiction to some types of sleep inducing drugs!\nWork with your Dr. and see what is best and safe for you ok! I have alot of empathy for you, I have been through this for years! \nGood luck... and as one good person already said, Prayer helps!

I went through a similar cycle with no help from anywhere.  Drugs left me zonked the next day too.  Eventually I found relief through my own little techniques.  Stress doesn't help mind you.  She has to find a pattern that suits her.  The trick is that when your head hits the pillow it can't say "OK go to sleep, go to sleep this time".  The n the cycle has already begun.  I drink a warm malted milk and then always force my imagination to go somewhere.  For me the start is always very science fiction, but that is just me.  Before you know it the mind can wonder on its own and zzzzzzzz.....  Just advise mind you, insomnia is different for everyone and there are different types.  The other main variety is waking up 3 hours into sleep and then being stuck awake.

Having gone through an intervention myself for a loved one, I have to say that above all, let her know that you all want the best for her, and you're scared for her.  Let her know how this situation has effected your life. (i.e., your worry for her is effecting your sleep, etc).  Good luck, I hope it goes well.

Just a thought on wetting the bed at 8 years old\n\nHas she always done this or did it start out of the blue?\n\nIf it started out of the blue then you must find out what is terrifying her or upsetting her to make her react like this.\n\nSome reasons this can start suddenly are\n\n* Being bullied\n* Being told mummy is pregnant\n* Moving home, school, class\n* Losing a family member or friend\n* Feeling scared & insecure\n* Some form of physical / mental abuse\n\nIf she has always been doing this then letting her sleep in it will only distress her further, it's not her fault it's just something we have to learn & some learn it easier than others.\nPlease don't let her feel degraded over this.\n\nShe may be a heavy sleeper and just doesn't notice she has to go till it's too late

Just take care of her for awhile and make your daughter go to parenting classes. When she is ready, let her take care of her. You shouldn't ruin your dreams for your daughters mistakes, but at the same time, your grand baby will be a better person if you help her out. And she will definitely thank you later.

No don't wait!!!! I have dealt with that my whole life, mine is migrains. Your daughter could be suffering migrains or it could be a tumor or blood clot, there are so  many different things it could be. Get her to a doctor as soon as you can, if it turns out ot be migrains then they can tell you about different triggers that set them off. Please don't wait because time could be of the essence!!!!!!!!!!
