You shouldn't scare your kids with threats of monsters.
Anna's young son Milo has developed a bad habit of getting out of bed in the middle of the night and walking around the house.
Anna wants Milo to stop his bad habit.
Anna tells Milo that he should not be getting out of bed at night because he will be tired in the morning, and he might hurt himself in the dark.
Anna tells Milo that if he gets out of bed at night a monster will catch him and eat him.
Milo understands that he should not be getting out of bed and does his best to change his habit.
Milo becomes very anxious at night because he is afraid of the monster and develops a form of trauma.
