My son is 2 yrs old tomorrow and has been waking up from sleep in the mornings and from his naps crying and has, at times, had night terrors. The last night terror he had was a really bad one on halloween night. He hasn't had any since but he is now in speech therapy because he was speaking and now is not. He has regressed and we cannot pinpoint why. He has had his hearing tested and has had evaluations from speech therapists who say he seems normal. Does anyone know what could cause this? My son is a very happy child but when he wakes up it is as if he doesn't know where he is or is scared of something. Most days we can calm him just by holding him but then there are days where he is unconsollable and screaming like someone is scaring him or he is being hurt somehow. I don't know what to do. I am a SAHM and am very close with my son and he is very close with his father. We spend all of our time with him but this is one issue we cannot understand or know how to deal with. Please Help.

I'm not sure if anyone really knows what causes night terrors. My son had them at about the age of your son. If I would try to comfort him, he would just fight me off --like I was a part of his bad dream. And even though he seemed to be awake, he did not respond to me As hard as it was , the best thing I could do was just let it happen and wait for it to pass.
I do know that it will most likely stop in a year or two --it did with my son.
As for the rest of it, I don't have any answers for you.

Toddler waking up crying-- not necessarily alarming or out of the ordinary.
Waking up with night terrors? Maybe a cause for concern.
Total verbal regression? This child needs to be seen & diagnosed by professionals, NOT by all of us wankers here on yahoo!.

Its rare in boys but regression at that age could be Rett Syndrome. You should have that ruled out just in case.
My daughter (who happens to have Rett) has night terrors. They went on for quite a while before we discovered they are actually seizures. If he seems like he is awake but disoriented, this may be the cause. If he is having seizures it could be causing the regression. Take him to a Neurologist for an EEG.

Has anything changed in his little life that could be upsetting him? Such as moving, death of someone in the family that was close to him, potty training, new sibling, etc? Many things can upset him, try to talk with him and get him to answer yes or no questions. Try a night light and talk to him soothingly and calmy before he goes to sleep. Sing him songs. My daughter used to start screaming like crazy when she woke up, and the only thing that helped was sitting beside her before she woke up and stroking her head and speaking calmly and quietly in a soft voice and telling her that she was ok and that now it's time to start our happy day. Keep trying, things will get better as time goes on. If it gets worse, talk to your doctor.

He's being harrassed by demonic spirits. Go get some Holy Water and sprinkle it around his bed. Or have it done by a local pastor, priest, or someone who's familiar with that thing.

A Child psychologist is probably your best bet. Something is traumatising him and they will know how to find what it is.
