What I mean by this is that a lot of times you hear people say, “just make them sleep in the dark and they will get over it.”
The truth is that this could just make the child more scared, the above is just an example. But forcing your child to do something that they are scared of doing could have the reverse effect of what you intend.
A good method to try is to help your child do things that make them feel safe, this will help them with their bravery. Start with things that you know they will do and gradually move from there.
