Why a child is afraid of the dark and what to do about it

Why a child is afraid of the dark

All people have fears, they save them fromthreats of the surrounding world. But fear of the dark is a phenomenon that does not bring any benefit, since it does not protect the child from real danger. In 80% of cases, fear of the dark in children is provoked by parents, television and other children. In the remaining 20%, it appears due to an overdeveloped imagination and at the same time a sensitive nature.A child can start to be afraid of the dark from the age of 3Photo: GettyWhat can provoke the appearance of a fear of the dark:

intimidating parents that a monster will take the child away if he misbehaves;
scary stories of other children;
programs and movies on TV;
other people that the baby saw on the street;
family conflicts;
stressful situations.

When the light goes out in the bedroom, scary images start to appear in the child's head. He does not see what is happening around him, he listens, and every rustle evokes unpleasant associations.

What to do if your child has started to be afraid of the dark

A child's fear must be dealt with, otherwise itwill develop into a major psychological problem. It is important for parents to find out what exactly the child is afraid of – loneliness, the unknown, monsters or other antiheroes. Then it will be easier for them to help the child. How to overcome fear:

do not ignore and make fun of the problem;
find out what exactly the child is afraid of;
visualize fear, draw it on a sheet and burn, hide, tear along with the baby;
explain that nobody is in the dark, there are no monsters, no one can get into the house;
give the child a protector a soft toy, saying that he will guard him;
together with him to examine the dark room, to make sure that there is no one terrible in it.

If nothing helps, you can leave it ina dim night light in the child's room. It is important not to turn it off all night, otherwise the baby may wake up and get scared. You can cope with the fear of the dark on your own, but if you cannot do this by the age of 10-11, it is better to consult a psychologist. The main thing is not to ignore the problem, hoping that the child will outgrow it, but to support the baby in every possible way and try new ways to combat it. It is also useful to know:
