Banishing the Boogieman
A Parent’s Survival Guide for Helping Children Through Nighttime Fear
Nighttime fear can be truly terrifying—especially for a child. When the lights go out, their world can feel unsafe in a way they can’t explain or control. In their body, it can feel like a real threat: something is watching, something is near, something could happen. And when your child is pleading, shaking, refusing to be alone, or insisting something is in the room, you feel it too—because you’re their anchor.
That fear doesn’t stay contained to bedtime. It can hijack the whole household: sleep deprivation, dread as evening approaches, and the pressure of wondering whether you’re handling it “right.” Many parents get stuck between dismissing the fear or over-accommodating it—until bedtime becomes a nightly crisis. This book offers a steadier path.
Banishing the Boogieman is not a “perfect bedtime routine” book. It’s a survival guide + troubleshooting map that helps you understand what kind of fear you’re dealing with—and respond with calm authority, compassion, and practical tools that build lasting safety.
BUY ON AMAZON Quick Relief: If this is your house, you're in the right place
Your child is genuinely terrified at bedtime (crying, panicking, refusing to be alone)
They insist something is in the room (under the bed, closet, shadows, “a presence”)
You’re exhausted from repeated check-ins, sleeping beside them, or fighting the same battle nightly
Reassurance isn’t working anymore—night lights, “monster spray,” checking everything… it keeps returning
You feel torn between compassion and boundaries
You worry the fear is becoming an identity: “I’m not safe. I can’t do this.”
You suspect your child is highly sensitive/empathic and absorbs more than they can explain.
What makes this book different
This book doesn’t try to “logic” your child out of fear—or treat fear like misbehavior.
It helps you name what’s actually happening, because the right response depends on the real cause. You’ll learn how to tell the difference between fear that’s primarily:
Imagination + development
Stress + life change
Environmental triggers
Sensitivity/empathy factors
When you stop guessing, the whole dynamic changes.
