Is your child afraid of the dark? Night time fears are very common in young children, and they can affect both their sleep and yours. If you’ve been struggling to ease your child’s bedtime anxiety, don’t worry—there are ways to help them feel safe and comfortable when the lights go out.

Why Are Children Afraid of the Dark?
Children have vivid imaginations, which can sometimes make the dark feel overwhelming. Without the ability to see what’s around them, it’s easy for their minds to fill in the gaps with spooky ideas or unseen threats. It’s important to remember that fear is a natural emotion, and with the right approach, your child can learn to feel safe and secure at bedtime.
