Treating night terrors

How can we treat night terror since the child wakes up and doesn't remember the dream? I would like to know what to do while the child is having the dream and what to do days after.
Thank you!
 
1) Find the reason of the Night Terror.
Is there something wrong ? Is the child experiencing some sort of discomfort in its daily life that finds a way out at night in such an unfortunate way?
Ask the kid questions, about the way people arround it treat it. As it if it feels sad or anxious or nervous about something.

2) Make a cosy place to sleep.
A fortress of teddies to keep him protected from the side monsters. A cute little night light. Or even a chalk circle around the bed while you say ''no monsters or bad dreams will be able to cross this circle that mommy/daddy, did''.
If the door of the childs' room is closed, then try keeping it open. And again, ask the child, if there is a certain space in its room that is making it uncomfortable or scared.

3) Not all of us can sleep in silence. A nice youtube relaxation music video, or even an audio book with children faerie tales to make the child calm until it sleeps, would be also a handy idea.

Of course these are my opinion and i ain't a specialist.
I do really hope nights will be better for the little one. May the angels keep it safe.
