Patient's question:

My son often experiences this situation while sleeping. He cries with his eyes closed, or cries while pulling his hands randomly, muttering something unclear in his mouth. Sometimes, he also stuffs the blanket vigorously into his mouth. This behavior is not only during nighttime sleep but also occurs during nap time at kindergarten. Why is this happening? I'm worried if there's a neurological issue. By the way, my son is six years old, and this has been going on for three years.

Doctor's answer:

Normally, when a person feels wronged or suppressed, those events may reappear in their dreams. This phenomenon, if prolonged, is not conducive to a child's growth and can harm their physical and mental health. It is important to listen to their confessions and allow many things to become the past, so that they are no longer a matter of concern.
