Asher is now three. As if on cue, he has begun to fear the monsters. At least we know that developmentally speaking, he is right on schedule.
When Simi began to fear the monsters, we hung a small dreamcatcher on the wall and we told Simi that it keeps the monsters away. When this "key", as Simi calls it, is on the wall, no monsters can enter the room. Armed with that knowledge, Simi breathed a huge sigh of relief and has never worried about monsters again. Simi does remind us to bring the "key" on vacation with us, to make sure that no monsters enter our vacation home.
So when Asher began to fear the monsters, I brought him into the bedroom that he and Simi share and I pointed to the "key" on the wall, explained its purpose, and hoped that the dreamcatcher would work for Asher too. So far it seems to have done the job. Asher and Simi's bedroom is still a monster-free zone. Phew!

I became afraid of monsters and those imaginary scary creatures after I lost my light proception. The dark really scared me. But we didn't use anything to get rid of the imaginary creatures, but at night my mom would go in to my room before me and she'd tell me when she saw no monsters or other scary things in there. I was six when I lost my sight. It was hard for me. It still is. But I have to carry on and cope without it...
My mom told Roman that he had special angels that guarded him always, and part of their job was to keep any monsters away. Other than the reassurance that the angels were still there and that they travel with us when we go places, we've never had an issue since. Hope never really went through that stage and B, well, we'll see, 3 is coming fast!
