So, it's 2:30 am, your child has just woken you up for the fourth night in a row because they had another nightmare.
  No matter how old your child is, nightmares in children are stressful for the whole family.
  But how do you deal with bad dreams in the middle of the night? Even if you're still really sleepy, it's helpful to ask your child to tell you about the dream.
  Sometimes, just sharing what happened in their dream, while they're awake, helps kids realize that it was only a dream.
   Equally as important, hearing what your child is dreaming about will help you figure out how to help stop the nightmares from recurring.
  Has your child seen a scary movie lately that is causing the dreams?  Has something that your child perceived as scary happened lately?  Kids worry much more than most parents think.
  Is your child worrying about something that might happen?   Instead of telling your child that they don't have to worry, acknowledge what their feelings are.
   You might say, "Gosh, it sounds like you're really scared because you thought a monster was going to eat you.
  I can understand that.
  Nobody wants to get eaten by a big scary monster.
"  Then ask if they're still feeling that way now.
There are a variety of simple, new techniques that work on an emotional level to help kids let go of their fears, which leads to reducing the occurrence of nightmares in children.
  Google it you will find lot of resources.
