Poor little thing
We are too young for monsters here, but my friend has put a sign at the front door before bedtime for her DD, " monsters keep out", which works a treat!
We had big screams too, heart palpatation from night terrors, poor little poppet. I have to admit I am not into telling stories (that's Daddy's job!) so instead I have told her that monsters are pretend, they aren't real which is both true and believable for her to understand. we watched monsters Inc which also helped because she knows cartoons are just for fun. We also explain that nighttime can be scary because you can't see things, but that it's the same as daytime except it's dark. it's awful seeing them so scared, but luckily with lots of cuddles and assuring that it's OK to feel scared and that Mummy and Daddy are always there for her she has stopped. I hope the night terrors stop very soon
