Son waking up in full blown temper tantrums

[Daisy123]

What the other ladies are describing does sound like night terrors which are scary- thankfully the child doesn't seem to ever remember it happening. My son gets them and I find that the less I engage him the better. Simple sentences like "back to bed". I took your question as meaning that your son is actually awake (at the end of sleep time) when he gets upset.? Different things but still difficult.
