My child has frequent nightmares. What can I do?
Nightmares are common between ages 3–6 as imagination develops. Comfort your child, reassure them it wasn't real, and stay until they're calm. A consistent bedtime routine, a nightlight, and avoiding scary content before bed can help reduce them. If nightmares are frequent and distressing, discuss with your pediatrician.
