On the other hand, the big rages are installed since the 18th month … if the Baby does not have what he/she wants, it piques a crisis. Explain to your child now that his/her fits of nerves are not the solution so that he/she does not take it as a bad habit.

My baby is having night terrors
The night terrors take place in the first part of the night (until midnight) when the child is in deep sleep. It will then be blocked between awakening and nightmare, crying with tears in a great state of agitation very difficult to calm down. These nocturnal terrors are often linked to the child’s tiredness and often occur after an intense day, without a nap or when the child has been very stimulated. For his comfort, the idea is to try not to upset their pace by trying to maintain a nap in the afternoon. If the nights are very hectic, you can try herbal medicine that gets good results. When the child is in crisis, you have the choice to wake him or to try to reassure him by staying close to him. Be careful, however, because night terrors can evolve into sleepwalking.
