[quote=Anonymous]Let's be honest. It's a scary world out there. Sometimes I don't sleep well at night--and I'm...older than five. Might be time to acknowledge the legitimacy of the fear and stop shaming the child. If you stopped distracting and actually started listening, you might get to the root cause. But I feel like you're looking for a pacifier rather than a solution. I think you should slow down and talk to you daughter. She just might surprise you and tell you what's actually going on. Instead of throwing a candy bar at her, throw some genuine care and support her way. She'll know the difference, which will have it's own calming effect. [/quote]
