Well, my brother will be turning 12 in December and still sleeps with a nightlight and a whole mess of stuffed animals on his bed. And btw we share a room and I can't sleep unless it's almost pitch black(just the way I am) anyway, he's also sort of a sissy, and crys when he don't get his way. So IIN?
I'm 20 and still can't sleep without some kind of light on in my room. Give him a break, he's still young. Most children these days are forced to grow up way too fast. Let him have his childhood. :)
I still have a night like and I'm only just 13 it's embarrassing but I can't sleep if I can't see what's around me and if I need the toilet in the night I like to see where I'm going x
Hey instead of giving him a hard time you could help him sleep in the dark. Every day dim the lights a little more and keep awake and stay with him till he falls asleep. You are siblings. He's your flesh and blood try looking out for him and he'll look out for you
Hey give the kid a break he might be afaird of the dark andim yonger than him but I still have stuff animals it could be a somthing from when he was little
My daughter had a night-light & stuffed animals until she left for university. I see nothing wrong with that.
Totally normal.
I didn't stop using a nightlight until I was 16yo tho I did stop sleeping with stuffed animals when I was 7yo. :/
Start to make really scary sounds. If you can not sleep then at least make some fun!
you sound like you're the oldest child... they always mature faster than second or third ect. children
make a tape of a dark room with nothing in it and then show the result of the person who was sleeping in the room (he must be untuched other yz it dont work) that will cure the dark feer
He's 12. Old enough to sleep without a nightlight and to realize he cannot have is own way all the time. But if he is afraid of the dark it will only make things worse to just takethe light away. It needs to be gradual. He also needs to be told no so he knows he cannot have what he wants. But be understanding with him.
throw away the nightlight. seriously. where he can't retrieve it. you deserve it. he's a pansy but you can help.
