I’ve been better. My 2 year old developed a fear of the dark a couple of months ago and now refuses to go to sleep alone. She used to be a great sleeper: fell asleep independently and slept through the night. Now, it’s a struggle to calm her down for bedtime and she’s guaranteed to wake up crying 2-4 times a night. At this point, I’m so exhausted and frustrated. Yet, I also realize she’s just 2 and just wants to feel safe and comforted.
