My child talks while sleeping. Should I be concerned?

Sometimes I'm asked about sleep disorders in children. One common question is "Is there anything to be worried about when a child talks or cries a little bit in their sleep?" The answer is no, that's totally normal. Many children make noises when they dream, and that's totally healthy. There are other sleep concerns that are of more concern. Certainly, if a child is consistently sleep-walking at night, that's a concern, a safety concern. And other issues such as really frequent nightmares or night terrors, which look to a parent like the child is having a nightmare, but the child's not really awake yet. Those can be more serious safety issues, and that's definitely something to talk to your pediatrician about, because there are effective treatments for those situations.
