Please tell me this is just a phase they grow out of? (Of course i know he wont still be doing it at 18 but its exhausting). My son is suddenly absolutely terrified of the dark, noises in the house, being on his own etc. I understand that kids get scared sometimes but even during the day, he often won't go in a different room without me because he is scared of monsters. I've no idea where it has come from. He doesn't watch YouTube, or anything age inappropriate that might have triggered it. Is there anything I can do to help him not be so scared?
