What is the youngest age for night terrors ?

"Night terrors are distinct from nightmares in several key ways. First, the person is not fully awake when roused, and even when efforts are made to awaken the sleeper, they may continue to experience the night terror for over 10 or 20 minutes. Unlike nightmares, night terrors occur during the deepest levels of non-REM sleep. Furthermore even if awakened the subject can often not remember the episode except for a sense of panic, while nightmares are easily recalled.\n\n"Children from age four to six are most prone to night terrors, and they affect about three percent of all youngsters (although people of any age may experience them). Episodes may recur for a couple of weeks then suddenly disappear. They usually occur during the first couple of hours of sleep. Strong evidence has shown that a predisposition to night terrors can be passed genetically. Though there are a multitude of triggers, emotional stress during the previous day is thought to precipitate most episodes. Ensuring that the right amount of sleep is gained also seems to be important.\n\n"While each night terror is usually different, all episodes of the same person will generally have similar traits. One seemingly universal quality of night terrors is a strong sense of danger - there is always a being, tangible or otherwise, who wishes to hurt the sleeping person. Many sufferers of night terrors are loathe to speak of them because of their violent, graphic, and sometimes disturbing nature."\n\nIf I were you, I'd take your kid in to see a doctor.  They will *hopefully* be able to tell you more.

There are several ways she can overcome this. One way is to try hypnotherapy, psychotherapy or a hypnotist. You have explained how the phobia has developed, so if she can come to turns with that frightening experience as a child, she may be able to overcome the phobia. Another way that Psychologists have helped people overcome their phobias is through 'facing their fears'. I recommend that she seeks a professional to help her with this though. Basically they will gradually introduce her to small dogs, and then bigger dogs. This has shown to have a longer lasting success rate, than hypnotherapy, although both methods are highly successful. There is a very recent method of treating phobias, where people can face their phobia virtually. It has helped arachnophobics. They use virtual reality to make the person confront their fears.

Don't worry about it.  Everyone reacts to fear differently.  Some scream, some cry, some sweat, etc.\n\nIf you're really concerned, ask you doctor. \nDon't worry about being embarrassed to ask them, they have heard it ALL.\n\n15's a hard age, but you're fine.

The dark.  I am 23 and scared to death of the dark.  If I am with other people I'm fine.  But if I am alone I freak out.

Sometimes checking the rating isn't always right -- I heard that they actually did a survey and found that the scariest movie of the year was actually only 14A. (What movie it was or how they found out is beyond me)\n\nSo, I think if you check the rating before seeing the movie is alright, but take special precautions. Maybe, if the kid was 12/13 and going to see a 14A movie it isn't the best thing to do. If it absolutely must happen, go with a parent or tell them to go with lots of friends. If it's 18A, don't see it unless you're at least 16 years old because the content that goes on in those movies are definitely not suitable for anyone under that age. It make not be just the gruesome horror, but there tends to be a lot of sexual acts in them, whatever kind of movie it is.\n\nI think the only horror movie a kid would be alright to watch by themselves is PG -- if they're 12 and up. \n\nGlad to help!

You grow most when you are sleeping.  Kids stop growing typically between 17-19.  You are more than likely done with the growing years.  Average sleep is 8 hours.  If you still feel sleepy, you can sleep more, but your body also has the ability to adjust without negative side effects.

The eruption of teeth in a child vary just like the age at which a child takes his or her first steps.  I wouldn't be alarmed at this point.

If it's safe where you live, take walks with him outside in the dark.  Let him see that it's not only safe, but beautiful.  Spend time indoors in the dark with him, maybe listening to music or just talking before he goes to bed.  He needs to see that you're not only not afraid, but even comfortable in the dark, and maybe he will come to fear it less.  \n\nBut a small nightlight is also a good idea while he's learning to overcome his fear.
