First of all, I want to show you my empathy and support for your concern about your child's crying at night. It can be very distressing for parents to see their child in distress and not know how to help. From a Buddhist perspective, we understand that all beings experience suffering and that our goal is to alleviate that suffering as much as possible. From a psychological perspective, we know that crying is a natural release of emotion and can serve as a way to release stress and tension. It is important to consider the underlying reasons why your child is crying at night. Is there something specific that is causing them distress, such as nightmares, separation anxiety, or physical discomfort? If so, it may be helpful to address those issues directly. However, if the crying seems to be more general and unexplained, it may not be necessary to seek out a shaman or other spiritual practitioner to perform a "收驚" ritual. In terms of coaching advice, I would suggest taking a compassionate and patient approach with your child. Offer comfort and reassurance, and try to create a calming and soothing bedtime routine. You may also want to consider seeking the advice of a pediatrician or child development specialist if the crying persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

Is something weighing on you, too?
