Suggest Medication For Disturbed Sleep Due To Nightmares
My 6yr old boy starting to scream tonight saying his father looked like a giant out of no where. He was crying and trembling saying he couldn t open his eyes because he was afraid. He said it happens sometime at rest time at school (we have had no reports of this) 5 minutes later he was fine. There is no history of abuse or trauma. What could it be?

dear parent,
as per your description this seems typical of some psychological trauma. There has to be something that is causing such symptoms. Even if he is imagining, there has to be a source for such imagination.
I would like to keep a vigilant watch.
