My oldest still gets the occasional night terrors. They're not nearly as bad as they once were, but he still gets them from time to time. He had a small one just now, so I had to go into the boys' room to make sure it wasn't going to get worse. My wife happens to be out with her friends tonight, so it's just me.
Anyway, what I usually do is try and gently pat his chest and shush him until he calms down. Whenever my hand taps his chest, I can feel his little heart beating inside, and it amazes me every time. It feels so small, and delicate, and it reminds me that life is amazing.
