Anxiety can fuel our children’s imagination in all sorts of ways. When it is dark and quiet at night it is easy to think of all sorts of what if scenarios that can leave them feeling unsafe. 

Learning to sleep on their own is a lifelong skill. There are many times in their lives that they will need to sleep on their own. Going to bed with their adrenaline pumping makes it hard for their body to have good quality sleep. They are often sleeping with one eye open, listening for sounds and signs of danger.

In this week’s YouTube video I talk to kids, teens and young adults about how anxiety can make them feel unsafe at night and what they can do about it.
