Do you have just one minute to find out how you can help your child overcome fear?

Many small children are afraid of the dark. It is a very difficult challenge to convince them there is nothing to be afraid of, or are not ghosts or “bad” things in the dark when they hear about it from friends, see it on tv and movies.

A fear of the dark can be very debilitating to a young child! Until your child is old enough to discuss their fears and rationalize them away, here are 3 tips to help empower them:

1. Let them tell you what they are afraid of - in their own words, and listen without minimizing. Acknowledge their fears. They are very real to your child!
2. Empower them! Ask them to imagine themselves in a situation where they have power over what they fear. For example, on your cartoon, your favourite character sprayed the bad guy with goo. Pretend you are spraying the ghost with goo to make it go away. Laughing at something is very empowering.
3. Buy some “Anti-Ghost Spray”! Where do you buy ghost spray? Any store! Put a picture of a ghost over the label of a bottle of perfume or air freshener. Empower your child by letting them spray the Anti-Ghost Spray and say “Get Lost Ghost!

Whenever they smell the spray, they know they are ghost free. You may want to remind them it is very powerful so they don’t spray an overwhelming amount.

BTW, Anti-Ghost Spray can also work as Anti Monster, Anti BoogieMan and Anti Zombi spray!
