I've had my share of littles one being afraid of this or that at night and wanting to sleep with Mommy (this is after they have been moved from my bed to theirs because they are 'big boys and girls now').
My trick is to get a spray bottle. If you can get a sticky label to put on it that works great. Write what ever you wish on it. Ex: Anti-Boogie Man Spray, Anti-Mice Spray, etc.. What ever it is that is bothering them at the time.
Without the little ones watching: Put a little bit of liquid fabric softener into the bottle and top with water.
Tell the little one how you picked this up JUST FOR THEM and whenever they are scared because they hear the boogie man to spray this into the air and the boogie man can't come near them.
My kiddo's have never used more than one bottle, but your mileage may vary.
Good luck chasing away those night time shadows!
My friend,
ReplyDeleteInteresting story. Love will scare any boogie man away (smile). Thanks for the visit.
