Children have vivid imaginations, many of them suffer from phobias, and one of the most common is the fear of the dark.
If the child does not see the room, his subconscious mind begins to paint the void. Since the baby does not yet know one hundred percent that there are no monsters in the world (all that remains is to trust his mother), he cannot always cope with irrational fear on his own. Parents should not turn away from the child!
Don't stress your baby!There are much more humane ones who are able to get rid of fear.
Talk to your child
By expressing fear, the child will feel relief. Many children understand that they are exaggerating, they trust their parents, so if mom says that there is nothing in the dark, he will be ready to believe and check.
Praise the child
When your child has to deal with fear, such as being alone in the room before bed, you can help with praise.Tell them that your little one is very brave and will definitely win.
Make it easier to get used to the dark
For some children, words do not help, they have too vivid imaginations, and a very specific thing will help to dispel fear - a night light.
Look for something cute and childish to not only dispel the darkness, but also cheer up your child.
Games in the dark
The child perceives darkness extremely negatively, but if you add a play element, thinking will change. Dispel your toddler's doubts powerfully with flashlight games or a small shadow show.Show that darkness is also an opportunity.
I count 10 seconds ...
Tell your child to close their eyes, turn off the lights, and count to ten. During this time, vision will begin to adapt to darkness, respectively, when the child opens his eyes, he will see the outlines of objects, and not solid blackness.
