Sleep Talking
My son is talking in sleep very often. This problem started when we make him sleep on a separate bed.
He is talking to us like he is awake and he is discussing any random thing, not relevant any event of current or the past days.
I am bit worried now, because the frequency is increased now.
Please let me know do I need to go for any checkup or any sessions with psychiatrist.

I can understand ur concerned. It’s better u consult a child specialist or your child’s paediatrician.
I am sure there’s not much to worry abt here.
Early identification leads to early intervention which leads to early relief:)

Unlike our conscious mind, subconscious mind doesn't go to sleep, so when something is impacted deeply mind get stress. Your son been a child or in teenage would have stressed out. All you gotta do is
- don't scare him telling ,what he has been doing in the sleep .
-try to make him talk out..
if you think it's going to be hard for you to take this as process, kindly do consult a psychologist who can professionally guide you.
