They are a fantasy, they exist in our dreams, but they are not real. That's what I teach my kids when they are afraid. If they tell me they dream of monsters, I usually say, that they only exist in your dream, and in your dream you can do whatever you like. I do tell them that I puffed at monsters in my dreams and with every puff they shrunk until they were really tiny and fit in the palm of my hand and then they were just cute and nice. | |

I got an answer just by asking several direct questions: "Are you tired? Does your tummy hurt? Are you scared?". No matter how well they express themselves, they're still three and often don't know their own motivations until we can verbalize them. | |
