My DS (3.5) has started dreading going to sleep because he is worried that he is going to have a 'bad dream'. I asked him what he meant but all I could get out of him was that it had something to do with 'shadows', so I moved his night light so that it couldn't throw shadows but he is still petrified. Then last night he was screaming in the middle of the night, saying that he had had a bad dream.
Any tips on how to deal with this? I have tried explaining that you should think of something nice...
