I remember being a child myself, sitting in my bed, blanket up to my neck, wondering not if, but when would I be attacked.The fear is often dealt with platitudes like:I’m right here Who is going to hurt you Nothing has ever happened to you Why do you worry so muchIn this week’s AT Parenting Survival Podcast, I explore why those platitudes aren’t helpful and what to do and say instead.To get a free PDF on 15 of some of the Most Common Reasons Why Kids are Scared to Sleep, go to: www.bit.ly/sleepfearsTo learn more about the sleep class go to: www.bit.ly/sleepclass19
