First, don't blame, criticize or laugh at children.
Mom and dad should first face up to it: "Fear of the dark and ghosts" is very common among children. This situation will improve with the maturity of mental development.
Second, don't let the children turn on the light and fall asleep.
Never tell your child directly that in order to save time, don't turn off the lights when sleeping! During normal sleep time at night, be sure to close the door and close the curtains to keep the environment quiet.
Third, have a heart-to-heart talk with children.
Tell children about their childhood fears, and tell their parents that they are afraid of the dark and ghosts and dare not sleep by themselves. Now they are not afraid. In this way, children will be less afraid because of their peers or role models.
Fourth, analyze the role of "ghost" in children's minds and find out what children are really afraid of.
Maybe chatting with children, you will find that the ghost in the child's heart is actually like the person who scares him in life or the character on TV. In this way, you will find out what baby Chu is afraid of, and then help the child face up to this factor and stop being afraid.
Factors leading to children's fear of ghosts at night
1, parents threatened: "If you don't obey to eat, the ghost mother-in-law will come to see you soon." Parents often use ghosts to scare their children when they are disobedient. In fact, this method can easily make children feel afraid of ghosts and darkness.
2. Negative imitation: If parents are afraid of the dark and ghosts and often make a fuss or scream, children will have negative imitation and deepen their fear of the dark.
3. Loneliness: In children's world, it is often accompanied by darkness, shadows, loneliness and other factors, especially when you are alone, you are more insecure and prone to fear.
4. The influence of the media: Some TV programs or books will associate ghosts with blacks. So "ghost" and "darkness" have images in children's minds, and even deepen their fear of it.
