What are Some Differences between Night Terrors and Nightmares?
The differences between night terrors and nightmares are important to understand. As a parent of young children you may encounter both from time to time, with average age of night terrors occurring between the ages of 3-12 years old. Some children may experience night terrors sooner, while others continue to experience them into their teens. In contrast, nightmares may occur for all of us from time to time, and occasionally children have particular difficulty for a short or long period of time with certain fearful nightmares that keep recurring.
