Suggestions include: Ask them to tell you about their fears and what exactly makes them afraid. Reassure them that they are safe; explain there are no such things as monsters.
If your child is afraid of the dark because of the possibility of intruders, it may help to show them the security measures around the house, such as locks.
However, never lock a deadlock while people are inside the house, as it may block escape in a fire or other emergency. Ask your child for suggestions on what would make them feel more secure.
Offer suggestions yourself. Perhaps they would feel better if they took a special toy or comforter to bed. Find out if their fear of the dark comes from other worries. For example, some children may be afraid of their parents separating or dying, and this anxiety gets worse when they are alone in the dark.
Talk to your child honestly about such issues. Predictable bedtime routines help to reduce anxiety. For example put a lamp by their bedside so they can switch on the light themselves.
Use a low-wattage bulb. Make sure their television viewing habits and reading materials are appropriate to their age. News footage, movies or scary books can easily frighten a child. Look around their room at night and try to see things from their perspective. Is there a picture or toy that may cast a shadow or look creepy in the half-light?
Regular exercise helps to reduce stress levels. Make sure your child has plenty of physical activity during the day. There are many books on managing childhood fears, both for the parents and the child. Reinforce positive behaviour. Allow your child to make small steps towards overcoming their fear and compliment them on each achievement.
Whenever they accomplish a step, such as not jumping out of bed the minute you tuck them in, reward them. Toddlers respond well to simple reward systems, such as stickers or stamps on a wall chart.
