Are you still scared of the dark? If not, you would in all likelihood very amazed at how a great deal of adults suffer with fear of the dark. Fears are a natural stage of the child development and the fear of the dark is the most common, also amid adults, both male and female.

In the dark shadows come alive and may turn into the tremendous monsters which for the duration of daytime we manage to keep hidden.

But this fear is not born with us and kids do not experience it until after 2 years. At this age they have already learned a lot with regards to their surroundings and are experiencing autonomy and new abilities with an increasing frequency. At the same time, children are tardily in an emotional manner separating by their mother as a consequent result of their newly conquered independence, but this procedure may generate anxieties which are conveyed by the some fears typical of this age.

Children consider the monsters concealed in the dark as real, because they still can not distinguished imagination from reality and accordingly we must never underestimate their behaviour and consider it as a mere tantrum or even be very rigorous forcing them to behave commonly thence in all likelihood causing the problem to increase and endure for years.

There isn’t any magic recipe to support your children overcoming their fears, largely because each child has a dissimilar sensitivity and dissimilar reactions to the same situation, so that we cannot manufacture a ordinary rule.

Probably the best approach is to reassure them, not turning though into overprotective. Then we will have to check what they watch in TV which, even though suitable for their age, may now and then generate anxiety and stress. Check also their toys because most times plush we consider very cute or funny may disturb them. Moreover, toys’ shadows in the dark may be exceedingly scary!

Never undertake to make fun of their anxiety even even though only to minimize the problem, but be positive. Turn on a night light and stay with them a little after they get into bed, until their eyes get used to the low night light. You may make them very happy singing them a lullaby or reading a brief, delicate fairy-tale. Leave the room before they get asleep (if they aren’t too frighted this will support them build their personality because with your aid they will comprehend they may face their fear…) but leave the night light on the whole night (they have a low power consumption) so that they will not be frighted in case they wake up before morning.

Best Show Ever
By Anna Goehring
I was ten when this show came out, and all I have to say is that to this day, no show has come close to being as outstanding as this. I would bargain with my father to let me stay up and watch all of Snick to make sure I wouldn’t miss Are You Afraid of the Dark. I just purchased the DVD of 91 sequences on E-Bay, and I am in heaven all over again. I get flooded with memories of old commercials, and the way life was. This makes my heart pain with a longing for my childhood, but I am so thankful for the oppurtunity to experience this again. I do not forget Halloween being so amazing because they would show more than one episode a night! I likewise just picked up Salute Your Shorts from E Bay. If you’re reading this, then you in all probability do not forget that too. God how I miss those days…

My Childhood on Tape
By Kelly Graham
Just thinking with regards to this show puts a smile on my face. I remember, being little, and me and my huge sister huddlingh together on the green leather couch and watching Ren & Stimpy, Rocko’s Modern Life, Snick with All That, and the best of the best, Are You Afraid Of The Dark. I think back, and the scariest sequences still flicker around in the back of my head. I’ve noted this to my friends, and they have the precise same reaction. Everyone launches into a discussion of their favorite/scariest episode and laughs when others do not forget too. This was the best show in the history of Nick, and it makes me sad to think it’s gone. Hold on to any memory of it you can, so you may tell your kids that we had numerous decent television, once upon a time.
