So we have had a bit of a bad experience on Halloween and now Hayden is really scared all the time and can't stop thinking about this man who would come jump out of the dark and scare him. During the daytime he seems to slowly get better and is less scared, but at night and also when falling asleep for his nap it seems to be getting worse. He now takes up to 45 min to fall asleep for BT and nap during which he calls me back very frequently because he is panicky and thinks that the man is coming. We are also now having night wakings that last over an hour during which he can't go back to sleep and where I am in and out of his room constantly. Has anybody gone through something similar or has an idea of how I can make this easier for him, ie say something a bit more reassuring than just that there are no more scary men cause Halloween is over? Thanks everybody.
