afraid of shadows
« on: September 25, 2009, 14:12:27 pm »
DS2  (will be 3 in December)is afraid of shadows.  It's taking him 1.5 hours to fall asleep.  It wasn't a problem until it starting getting darker earlier.  Before, it was still light in his room and he didn't see any shadows.  I've tried a night light, no night light, a battery operated latern, etc.  Any suggestions?  He shares a room with DS1 so this had made bedtime a nightmare, plus we have a 5 week old baby.  Everyone is exhausted!

TIA!

I know one of my friends gave her LO a spray bottle of water and lavender oil and called it "monster spray". She checked under the bed everynight and made a sweep of the room. Armed her LO with the bottle, and it really helped!
Have you asked him what is scaring him about the shadows?
Maybe playing a quiet CD with relaxing music?
