Reading is a dreamy way to go to sleep. Keep plenty of books in their room and make sure to schedule enough time for reading before it's time to turn in. To wind your children down after a hectic day, a warm bath is a great way to prepare them for bed. Then slip them into these cozy pajamas and they will be off and dreaming. Guard against the boogie man.
Most children are afraid of the dark and being alone in their room at night.
Reassure them that they are safe and leave the hall light on with the door open a crack. Ease their fears, and their comfort level becomes welcome to the sand man.
