Scared of Monsters

HOTMAMA by HOTMAMA Talking Back(December 2006) (rank 57th)
When my sisters were little they were afraid of monsters that lived in the walls of their room, under the bed, in the closet and so on.  When they were 3 and 5 I was 13.  I did this for them, now I have seen a similar item at Babies
R Us, but mine was much more inexpensive!  I used an old hair spary bottle, cleaned out and put water in it, I would use a little vanilla or perfume to scent the water.  I decorated the outside of the bottle and wrote MONSTER SPRAY on it!  At night I would spray this around their room, under the bed etc.  It always worked!  It must have cause there were never any monsters! lol.  Now with my kids I do this and also sprinkle glitter body powder, just a few shakes and they are good to go.  It is sometimes the little things that will put a childs mind at ease.

monster repellant
That is a fantastic idea, I would have never thought of that one.  Thanks that will work when my two have bad dreams or something like that.

great idea
I wish we had this idea for my little brother he had nightmares for months about monsters. ( I found out it was my other younger brother was terrifying the youngest with th He-Man snake mountain, I walked in and caught him doing it.)

But have you checked under the bed!!!

What an intriguing idea. it acknowledges the child's anxiety and gives them something that will deal with it, just like in the old movies where the victims of vampires would wave a crucifix and all would be ok!!! It is a fascinating aspect of their spirituality see Top Ten Tips.
