A CHILD is AFRAID of the DARK. How can I lessen this fear?

Give the child a soft night light and leave the bedroom door open. Do not be mean to children when they are afraid, they need your comfort and love to grow up and develop into responsible caring productive adults.

DARKNESS IS NOTHING BUT ABSENSE OF LIGHT SO ITS NOTHING TO FEAR ONLY THING U HAVE TO BE IS COOL AND LIGHT A CANDLE INORDER TO REMOVE THE DARKNESS

With my children I have always reasured them and made sure ther was a light on in the hall way. The other thing I do is take them out side at night and look at the stars and talk about positive things about the night. My four yr old Granddaughter always asks about the stars when she goes out at night.
