| Frequently Asked Questions |
Q: My son who sleeps barely 10 hours. He wakes up frequently and we have to struggle to put her back to sleep. What should we do?
A: There is no hard and fast rule that the child should compulsorily sleep for a certain number of hours. Leave your child alone. He will automatically get used to the routine.
Q: My daughter has been sleepwalking and talking and crying in her sleep. She wakes up screaming and crying. She has not had any bad experiences that I can think of. Does she need medical help?
A: I think it is advisable to consult a child psychologist in person. Why don’t you try sleeping with your child for a few nights? Let her sleep with you in the same room, and hold her as he falls asleep. Give her a warm glass of milk, and don’t let her watch any scary movies. In fact, see that she avoids television as far as possible. Even seemingly harmless scenes – like wild, flashy lights on the MTV channel, can be disturbing for a child.
