She would look straight at me and give a blood-curdling scream, then run down the hall. I finally found out that if I took her to the bathroom and made her sit on the toilet, she would go. Then we'd walk back to her bed. I usually couldn't touch her, but she would respond to my commands. When she was back in bed, I would quote a scripture passage that she knew well. She would scream "NO! NO!" at first, then calm down and go back to sleep as I continued to quote. I found that if I headed her to the bathroom at the first signs of restlessness, we could avoid the loud screams and expressions of terror. I don't think she had any after the age of 10.<BR/>Hang in there; he will outgrow it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
