How can I help my son deal with his fear of the dark?

One way to help your son deal with his fear of the dark is by creating a nighttime routine that he can follow. This could include turning on lights and playing calming music, or reading together before bed. You could also try talking about what scares him most about the dark and how it makes him feel. Finally, you could encourage your son to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing and muscle relaxation exercises.
