Try This: How Do You Deal With Nightmares and Monsters Under the Bed?

Many people have used "Monster Spray to scare away monsters. I wrote a story about using Monster Spray that some people have told me they really enjoyed. I tried to get it published as a picture book at one time, but that didn't work out. If you would like a free copy in plain text to try please send me a e-mail. Use the subject Monster Spray.

I told my children that I simply did not allow monsters or other bad things to come into the house or I would hit them with a broom. Since my kids thought I was the power in our house, they believed me, and went to sleep without problems.

This reminds me of the old joke . A man was unable to sleep because he feared monsters were under his bed . He went to a shrink that promised him help if he would come twice a week . After one very costly visit he did not return . The shrink met him on the street one day and asked how he was doing . The man explained that he didn't have problem anymore since his bartender told him to remove the legs off his bed !

I can still remember going to see a movie called 'The Clutching Hand". When this hand came out from behind billowy curtains to choke the beautiful blonde, I was terrified. I'm not sure how old I was, but I'm 77 now and I have never been able to watch a scary movie. I don't think most children can handle this stuff. The one that made me frightened for the rest of my life was very tame compared to what I see advertised today.

When my kids were younger I bought "monster insurance." $2.50 a month and we put a sign up "No monsters allowed. We have monster insurance, So GO AWAY!" Worked like a charm ;)

Tell the kid to get over it and stop acting like a fraidy cat. Tell them upfront there are no such things as goblins, bogeymen, monsters or trolls under the bed, in the closet or elsewhere. It is only their imagination. If they let their imagination run wild, it will get the best of them. Teach your child how to control their emotions. Let them deal with the 'monsters' on their own; you don't need to resort to some stupid sprays or anything. They need to calm down, let the bad thoughts go away and get back to sleep.

When I was younger I was told 'monsters under the bed' was not an emergency up there with bleeding and death.

My wife and I raised 3 boys and a daughter. Of course monsters in the closet came up. My advice that worked and fixed our problem: Take the young one seriously. Ask if he/she is sure there is a monster in the (where ever). Tell them that you have been trying to catch one of these monsters since you were little and you never have been able to. Ask if they are sure there is one. Get a broom stick or anything like it. Tell the child your going to get it. Ask where it is. (under the bed, in the closet, behind the drapes etc. Sneek up to the bed room and call out to the monster. Have the child turn on the light at the count of 3. Then jump in and polk the stick in all the monster hiding place all the time saying come out and get yours you chicken monster. The child will start laughing and it becomes a game of get the monster. Polk the stick in all the hiding places. When it is over, you are a hero and the child knows you take serious their concerns and there is no monster. Good luck and God Bless.

They should put their kids in my bed. There is so much stashed
under it that the tiniest monster could not squeeze his way under
there.

I also used 'monster repellent spray' when my daughter was small, 40 years ago & again with my foster children, grandchildren and nieces and nephews. Lavendar is a good scent as it also helps them get sleepy. Some children do have 'monsters' and I assured them that there are none allowed in my home. A nice spraying of 'repellent' (let the child spray where he thinks a monster could enter) will keep any monsters or spiders who do not know my rules away forever. Something that simple can help a child fall asleep w/o fear of the monsters. And, they get a good night's sleep - sometimes for the first time in their little life.

And as for NIGHTMARES ...... I have found that children who are prone to nightmares (many for good reason!) fall asleep and sleep more soundly if they are soothed to sleep by a sound machine. (After 'talking to Jesus', tucked in tight, kissed on the forehead and heard the night-night, sleep tight... saying.) Some children fall asleep to rain, some like the heartbeat, some the waves..... whatever the child picks.

I got a small flashlight and made a special label that says "Monster Blaster". It disinigrates all monsters when you shine it at them. They also know it's under your pillow so it won't go near you if you're asleep.

It's not the monsters we have to worry about. It's the communists and their stooges in this country.

My son found "monsters" in his closet before we had a chance to read up or ask other parents what we should do, so I had to think quickly. I grabbed a whisk and a big metal spoon from the kitchen, and made a big show of twirling the monsters with the whisk and whacking them with the spoon, then had my husband open the front door and I chased them out, closing the door behind them.

Later, when he enquired bout their welfare, "where do they go? Will they be all right, out at night?" I explained to him that they went to the local Burger King, where they ate fast food and hung out in the parking lot. I explained that this was why they were afraid of the whisk and big spoon, because no one had ever cooked real food for them. It worked like a charm, and in just a few weeks, the monsters stopped visiting our house. Occasionally, my son will call us in to "evict the monsters", but he's just doing it for fun, and to watch me play at whapping them with my kitchen tools.

When I was little and scared of a monster under my bed or in the closet, my dad did something I loved. He would check for monsters, then he'd say, "Honey, there are no monsters. BUT if there were, here's what I would do..." Then he'd launch into a detailed description of scaring away the monsters, making it into a fun, and sometimes ridiculous, bedtime story. I would go to sleep with hysterical visions of my heroic daddy wrestling a monster into submission, and I knew I'd be safe. Worked like a charm, because over 20 years later, I tell my friends with kids about this.

monster spray doesn't kill monsters.... we shouldn't kill things... monster spray keeps monsters away, just like mosquito spray.

See :)

We had a lavendar spray that also helped because lavendar aids sleep...
