My 5 year old is still waking at night

My five year old is waking up every night crying and she won’t sleep unless my husband or I are with her. She shares a room with her sister. I just don’t know what else to do.

my 5yo wakes up and comes to lay in between me and hubs sometimes. I feel like it’s normal, but the crying every night doesn’t seem to be to me, take her to the Dr to explore possible night terrors

I used to do the same thing as a child. Like hair raising scream and I would have to use the bathroom. Does she watch anything scary before bed? Maybe her imagination is causing nightmares.

Make sure kids get plenty of fresh air and exercise.
