My two year old dd has just started waking up in the night with nightmares, either about spiders or "man chasing me mummy". Any ideas what I should do?
She has a vivid imagination and sometimes during the day will point to a dark corner of the room and say "monster in there" etc.
I have been saying "no spiders/monsters, there are no spiders" or even "mummy has chased all the spiders away" but wonder if I should be doing something different?
thanks for your help, it is agony seeing her scared little face - and she never used to wake up in the night, so I am getting exhausted!
