It is common for children to have bad dreams and nightmares, causing them to wake you up to ease their fear and anxiety. Every mom knows that sometimes these dreams can be so terrifying that a simple, “it was only a dream,” and a hug might not do the trick. So for those nights when extra security is needed, try these options to bring your child comfort to get back to sleep:
Go Away Big Green Monster: This award-winning book can help change your child’s perception of monsters. They get to watch a monster grow, then show him who’s boss as he disappears as they turn the pages.
Scare Me Nots: Lead by Defender Dave, the Scare Me Not Gang is ready to kick those monsters to the curb. Each of the 6 plush dolls has a unique personality and talent to defend against culprits. They can be hung on door knobs, fixed to mattress springs or anywhere that possesses a threat thanks to their extra-long Velcro tails.
Monster Detector App: Offered for iPhone users, this app allows you and your child to scan the room for monsters, making sure the coast is clear before bedtime!
