Top Ten Reasons Why Children Are Afraid of the Dark

The Top Ten
1 They think it is ghostly

2 They think that they might encounter monsters

3 They think there can be something under their bed
4 They feel very unsafe in the dark
5 Some children are generally more sensitive and emotional in their temperament
6 Their active imaginations, and their inability to always distinguish between reality and fantasy, means they may believe that monsters are under the bed or in the wardrobe waiting to spring once the light goes out
7 Claustrophobia can be a cause of this
8 Their brain can imagine certain sounds, from which they can feel afraid of the dark
9 If their parents are not with them, then they feel very lonely and afraid as their is no one to protect them from "monsters"
10 They are stupid
