Try to respect your baby's fears. When the baby says that he is afraid of the dark and monsters, parents should not say such perfunctory words as "nothing to be afraid of, no need to be afraid". This does not stand in the baby's position to understand the fear of darkness, so it is impossible to eliminate the baby's fear of darkness. The best way to deal with it is to convince the baby that even if there is a monster, mom and dad will protect him! For example, if the baby says there are monsters in the room, the father can take the baby to search for monsters. When the baby finds that there are no monsters in the room, he will naturally feel at ease.

Explore the darkness with children and have fun in the darkness. Darkness has a scary side and a lovely and interesting side. For example, you can take your children around the community at night, look at the moon and the shining stars, so beautiful scenery will only appear at night, so darkness also has a beautiful side. When you sleep at night, put a warm nightlight on your child. The light is weak and soft, and a little light in the dark can alleviate the fear brought by darkness. Let the children and parents lie in bed at night with small flashlights in their hands. In a dark room, flashlights can illuminate the corners that children are afraid of at any time, and children will be delighted to find the fun. In addition, children can put their favorite toys on the edge of the mattress in a row. These toys, like soldiers, guard children and help them overcome the fear brought by darkness.

Refuse to give children negative dark experiences. Babies' fear of darkness is mostly related to their life experiences and their own imagination. Therefore, in the process of taking care of the baby, parents should try not to show the baby scary movies and TV programs, and do not use intimidation when educating the baby. If the baby often hears parents say that it is dark at night and there are big wolves and monsters to catch disobedient children, then the child's fear of darkness will only deepen.

Take the children out for a walk and see, and increase their knowledge. It is very helpful for children to overcome all kinds of fears and see the world more when they grow up. People are afraid of unfamiliar things, and so are children. For example, children are afraid of animals, so take them out to see animals so that they can get used to the looks and sounds of various animals, and then their fear will gradually decrease. As children grow up, parents should also tell their children more about the causes of many phenomena and let them understand the truth and essence behind these mysterious things. If children know more things, they will be less afraid.
