Having fears or worries about the dark is something virtually all young children will experience at some point. Setting your child up to confidently move past their concerns and preparing yourself to guide them through this phase can be the difference between a struggle requiring a couple of conversations or it taking weeks, months or even years for your child to overcome this fear. Today, Allison will help listeners understand WHEN children are old enough to actually be scared of the dark, WHERE that fear comes from, and HOW you can set them up to easily move past the fear. She’ll give you step-by-step instructions for setting up the sleep environment for your baby or young child, and how to handle this fear with your child, no matter their age. You’ll learn EXACTLY what to say to help facilitate an end to this idea in your home.
