Is it normal for my toddler to be scared of the dark?

It is common for children under the age of 5 to have some fear of the dark. This can often be a natural part of their development, as they are learning how to make sense of their environment and how to navigate through it. However, if your child seems excessively afraid or anxious when in the dark, you should talk to your doctor about what might be causing this behavior.
