Answers:
yes i can understand ur problem, the first thing i need to say try to get the thing why kid is afraid off, then try to overcome that.U just maintain one routine life means fix their lunch hr, sleeping hr and dinner time also.After dinner make them habit to remember God & let them know all the good or bad thing they 've done & try to understand then that after dinner it's time to go to bed, u can buy some books where u can show them some pictures, how the daily activities is going on, so that they should think what is right & what is wrong.u just tell her coolly rather u can say try to make her friendly and try to develop self confidence in her.u just tell her to do something, it may take some time for her to finishup the thing but after finishup u just praise her so that she will be happy and satisfied.hope this will help u as i've done this with my own kids and it's really worked :)
Use a night light in the room and play the radio softly. That really worked with my daughter. Also, keep her door slightly open.
I was afraid of the dark when I was a young teen also. But I know the reason why. I grew up in a family full of religous fanatics, and thought evil spirits where going to haunt me or posess me. I was so afraid, I had to sleep with the light on for several years.
Later I became an atheist, and so I no longer believe in ghosts, spirits, demons or the like, and I can finally sleep with the lights off. :-)
Normally all kids irrespective of sex, get afraid of darkness or being left alone.
Put a small locket in their chain with the God's photo and tell them there is no need to fear anyone when God is with you & that he will always protect them.
Tell them to take God's name every now and then.
Actually, when they are quite young they don't know what fear is. It is at that time that you should instill such good thinkings in them, avoid showing them horror TV serials which makes them believe in ghosts etc.
if you are a man you probably need to stay away from them and let their moms deal with them if you can if you can't well I am not sure I have the answer to this for you, they will probably grow out of it if they don't it won't actually harm them or you, will it?
use alternate soft night lights,make them friendly with teddies n ask them to put it sleep like u do, a humming wind chime n low volume music with slightly opn doors may work. The biggest inspiration u can evoke is by asking them to make GOD their friend n send up their little prayers.
According to one study, 43 percent of children between ages 6 and 12 had many fears and concerns. A fear of darkness, particularly being left alone in the dark, is one of the most common fears in this age group. So is a fear of animals, such as large barking dogs. Some children are afraid of fires, high places or thunderstorms. Others, conscious of news reports on TV and in the newspapers, are concerned about burglars, kidnappers or nuclear war. If there has been a recent serious illness or death in the family, they may become anxious about the health of those around them.
