Blue Heaven Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 My daughter had her first ballet recital yesterday. Really cute to see 3/4 year olds doing ballet but so uncoordinated which was quite funny to watch. It was an extremely long day, she was in the 3:30 show, didnt end till 7:00.

Vodka Drunkenski Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Like Pete suggests' date=' the thing is to make her feel like there is nothing to be afraid of. What is it that she's worried about in the dark? Monster? Come up with a night time routine that checks for them. Or give her some sort of tool that can protect her (essentially what a guard dog would be). A magic flash light by the bed. Sprinkle some monster poison around the room. Something like that.[/quote'] I do the monster check but doesn't seem to work. I've debated about getting another dog just to keep the other dog company, this might add more fuel to that thought. Thanks for the tips guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYR2711 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 5 year old won't go to sleep by herself and cries that she's scared of the dark. How long will this phase last Is she afraid of something specific? My son was afraid of monsters in the dark, so I got an old key that I gave him and told him it was a monster key and that if he lock the for with it, they couldn't get in. It seemed to work. We gave him a night light and he now sleeps with it still. This was like 3 years ago, and he has slept with no issue ever since. He leaves the key hanging on his door knob, and he needs that night light every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphinity 2.0 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Honestly.... This game helped me get over my fear of the dark when I was a kid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pajama_Sam:_No_Need_to_Hide_When_It's_Dark_Outside Makes "Darkness" fun and stuff. Looks like it's still available on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/283960/ Also is available on Android apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsley Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Luckily my two girls are not overly fearful of bedtime as long as night lights are on. They have the in wall lights and then the stuffed animal ones that turn off after 15 minutes or so. My older daughter (6 yr. old) had a tendency to cover her head completely to help her fall asleep (probably some degree of fear of monsters or the dark) but we recently bought her a $10-$15 netting and she feels "safe" from anything in there so she doesn't cover her head anymore. http://g01.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1nG2ZKpXXXXcEXVXXq6xXFXXX2/Free-Shipping-Netting-Bed-Canopy-Round-Mosquito-Net-Blue-Pink-White.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vodka Drunkenski Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I can give you a magic key to lock your door with... Keep the kiddies out. Would love to but unfortunately she will start crying which will wake up the younger one. Not ideal when my alarm is set for 4:30 in the morning.

Phil Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Just spent like 25 minutes driving around my neighborhood aimlessly listening to death metal about as loud as it would play in my zip car rental because the mom and baby were home resting after we spent the day out at the NY Aquarium/Coney Island. The little victories in life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I saw that on FB. It's almost reason to get a car alone. Our #1 Family activity is aimlessly driving around town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
