Monster Room Spray for Kids Afraid to Sleep at Night
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 Posted by Jolly Mom
When I was little, I was always scared of the dark, "monsters under my bed", the bogey man, and pretty much any scary thing I could conjure up. This is a common problem among kids and I think that a great way to alleviate those fears is by parents acknowledging them--not just telling their kids that monsters aren't real. Also, one idea is to give kids things that will help them through the night--like a nightlight, flashlight, stuffed animals, a comfort item, or even by spraying the room for monsters right before bed!

I'm sending this to my friend who's son (Graham's age) is afraid of dinosaurs in his room at night.. maybe she could change the picture to a dinosaur.

I have totally done this! And it works so great! My son hasn't hit that stage yet, but my daughter made us spray EVERYTHING...lol. We added a little bit of glitter powder for a visual effect, too. (but not too much...it might get messy!) ;)

I did this when my youngest was little - it worked perfect...... I even added one drop of food coloring, too - green, it was his favorite color and the "monsters" were afraid of green!!
