RE: Sleep and its causes: Children's night fears
You want kids to be safe and to feel safe. Now, it is important to help kids grow up at the same time. So, it is a balancing act. Parents should resist trying to lie. So, if I was a father, I might not say that there is no monster under the bed. I will say that I don't see monsters. But I would want to have a conversation about it with my kids. I would suggest that they pray or that they come see me when they felt scared. I would want to emphasize on conversation. It is important to be able to talk about fears. Sometimes, we should be careful. But excessive fear can be dangerous.
