All children in early childhood have fears. It's a normal part of growing up. It's a big, sometimes scary world. And those fears often fixate on monsters or a dragon that lives upstairs. My kids wouldn't go up to the third floor by themselves when they were little because the dragon would eat them. So it's very common for kids to have that kind of fear. So what can you do to help them through that? First, play games about it. Be that scary monster. Be the dragon. Chase them. Let them out with the dragon. And say, "Oh, I can never catch you. You're so fast. You're so smart. You always get away from me." And show them by your example that the dragon is something to be laughed at, that the dragon is something that they can actually outwit, outsmart, run away from, escape safely. If kids can laugh about their fears, those fears have a way of melting away.
