If your child is afraid to sleep alone at night and is seeing scary things when the lights are turned off, a typical parents’ response would be, “You are safe. There is no one here, it is just your imagination. Be brave.”

When I asked my child’s pediatrician about kids sleep anxiety, he said telling a kid “There is no monster in your room, and you are safe” makes kids fears worse. A highly sensitive and anxious child will think “I am alone; mom and dad don’t get me. I am on my own.”

A better approach could be is to listen to your kid, hear what they have to say, ask them to share what they see and hear, and stay in the same room with them if you can.
