Hello,

Sleep terrors are part of sleep. Terror on some days are ok but on a daily basis are troublesome.

Instead of telling your child that you love her at dream, tell her in the day time.

Just see that the child is not having any issue at home with siblings or you. If these things do not help, take help of psychiatrist as they are trained to help such issues.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
