In addition to an IA dr, I'd also suggest Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.
There is a small section on night terrors. Basically the book says if night terrors are present before puberty, the are not associated with any emotional or personality problems. And recurrent night terrors are also often associated with chronically abnormal sleep schedules. Enabling them to get more sleep is the way of treating over tired children who have frequent night terrors. The author says he has observed that night terrors disappear when parents moved the bedtime earlier by only 30 minutes.
How much sleep does Rosemary get? Have you tried moving up her bedtime?
Our 21 month old ds has had trouble sleeping thru the night. We were skeptical, but moved his bedtime up dramatically and we are seeing dramatic results only 4 days in.
