[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 75535, member: 3647"] I had "monster spray" for my first daughter. I had forgotten all about that until you mentioned that, Stef! With Tink, we have a dream catcher. We "empty it out" every night by tapping it against the garbage can. Also a night light. Limit ALL TV for awhile. Lots of interactive play between you and the child. Read to him often (of course, nothing scary). As annoying as it gets...and it might get annoying...don't let him see your frustration at needing an escort everywhere. Don't tell him that he is being silly. But you can explain to him that dreams can't hurt him. Another thing that works is if he feels like he has control over his dreams. If he can explain them to you, have him draw them. Once they are in black and white, it takes the power out of them. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
