    Re: Help! My son is afraid of the dark :(
    Play a game of peak-a-boo in the dark with a flashlight. Explain what you're going to do, then turn on the flashlight and turn off the room light. Then explain again, that you're going to turn the flashlight off and start to play peak-a-boo. Turn the light off for a really short time , then turn it on and say peak-a-boo. Continue doing this (as long as he's having fun) but leave the flashlight off for longer intervals each time. Make it a game and he'll see that the dark can be fun and not something to be feared. Most kids can be "cured" from their fear with this technique.

    I know it worked for me, just last week.:rofl:

    Good Luck!
