After a frustrating few weeks of screaming mid-sleep in the middle of the night/early morning, the Tresillian Parent help line was consulted. Pascale has night terrors, trying to comprehend the changes happening to her. The key is to re-assure her all is okay, by holding her as long as she needs it even up to half an hour. Don't wake her up even tho she is screaming and seems to be awake, so keep the room dark and play music as she has been used to. A bright room will wake her up easier and reminde her of the terror of being in the bedroom.
The rest of that night Priscilla held Pascale for a long time on her lap, both fell asleep from about 130am. Then around 4am Pascale wriggled and started pointing to the cot. Priscilla put her into the cot and patted to settle, then left the room. Pascale slept until morning, waking by the usual screeching around 815am when parent gained conciousness.
