my 3 year old...

posted 4th Feb
my 3 year old used to sleep just fine in the dark with a nightlight on. Now all of a sudden she refuses to go to sleep without the big overhead light on. I try to come in and turn it off after she goes to sleep, but she wakes up with a bloodcurdling scream bc she says "the monsters are coming to get her". idk where she got this. well, I moved in with my parents during nursing school, so we share a room for now. (I'm moving out in 2 months). I can't sleep with the light on, so I turn it off when I'm in the room. She still screams when she wakes up. makes for a long night. any ideas on how to fix this?

fill up a spray bottle with 'monster repellent' and let her spray the room before she goes to bed. also can you maybe plug in a small night light near her bed so it doesnt bother you much?

Maybe it is a faze. My three year old is going through this sort of thing too. Monsters are very real for her right now. We make good dream "glasses" and sprinkle "dream dust" on her glasses to help with having good dreams. We then talk about all the good dreams we put into her glasses.

nightlights don't bother me. I have two in the room but it isn't enough. she wants the big light on.
