Toddlers are always happy, active, and full of love, but these will not shield them from a possible nightmare or night terror during bedtime.
As a parent, it is best if you are aware of the factors that cause toddler nightmares or night terrors so you can help your child manage and make the situation better. Nightmare and night terror causes include:
Stress and Anxiety
Stress and anxiety are common causes of toddler nightmares or night terrors. Toddlers may feel stressed and anxious when something triggers their fear like seeing a spider, being alone in the dark, or separation anxiety.
Young children may also feel these emotional tensions when they are being reprimanded by their parents or being shunned away by other children
Major Changes
Major life changes such as having a new sibling, moving into a new home, being with new people, or going to school are things that cause toddler nightmares or night terrors.
