Give the child some control - allow them to choose a
tool to help them be brave (worry dolls, «monster spray», a radio to cover noises, a torch
etc) and contribute to their sleep environment (eg a
special blanket, pillows, toys).
We have had
special time with just her (
tool her to the store to pick out new toys, coloring books
etc — came home and played with her), I let her cook with me, try to engage activities.
