My daughter (5) is going through a phase where she’s very scared at night. 

Any tips for getting her to fall asleep alone?

Appreciate this! I just told her to imagine the thing she is scared of in a funny way (with clown shoes on or with a party hat). I’m currently listening to her giggle from her room. 

When I get degen I am coming back to this cast to tip you :)

I tend to just try and redirect their feeling from fear to funny or something

I ask them what they are scared of and then I ask them to imagine something really silly

That’s distracted well enough in the past! Good luck.!

What has worked is find/identify what they are afraid of and show that it’s ok.  

Small flashlights and stuff help.

My girls like listening to some white noise (ocean/rain sounds) to fall asleep. 

We tried one of those rainbow/stars nightlights but that actually kept them up cause it was too stimulating
