Anybody else's 2 year old having night terrors? Or frequent night wakings?

My daughter is 2 years 4 months, and for the past month or so has been waking up screaming for her father and I. She recently stopped taking naps during the day because she refused to go to sleep. Shes in her own room, with a nightlight and toni box. Between her and her 8 month old brother who still gets up to eat at night, we are exhausted.

My son has had night terrors as well. We ended up tracking it and the days he didn’t nap he had them. It’s common for kids to have night terrors when they’re transitioning from naps. He just recently stopped having them, knock on wood. It goes away eventually. He would wake up and start screaming, throwing himself around, didn’t want me or his father, he would even open his eyes sometimes but he’s was never actually awake. It’s frustrating and overwhelming but it does usually pass eventually. Just do your best to keep them from hurting themselves and offer affection when you feel like they might take it. My son would only cry for about 10-15minutes depending how bad it was that night. The only thing I found that helps is picking him and and swaying but even that sometimes didn’t.

Same with my son

Omg I thought it was mine only since she just started nursery
