There was a
time where our little ones’ fear of the dark would impact the nightly bedtime
routine. The lights had to be kept on, bedroom doors opened, and an army of
stuffed animals lined the bed for protection. Instead of going to sleep it
would turn into playtime. When they finally fell
asleep and I would tiptoe into
their rooms to turn off the lights, except for the times that we would fall
asleep first.
Nightlights,
flashlights, lamps connected to automatic timers, and dimmer switches never
seemed to “solve or fix” the problem.
Bedtime wasn't the only time they were afraid of the dark. They were scared to walk down a
dark hallway or into a dark room alone. They would have to be escorted and have
the area “checked” before they entered. Their pediatrician told me that they
were
completely normal and they would eventually grow out of it.
One
sleep
deprived night I found Bravery in a Bottle. Bravery in a Bottle is a mom own company
that offers a collection of
children's aroma-therapeutic sprays. Each of
their 100% natural sprays has a specific goal or purpose.
- MONSTER
VAPOR - RELAXING BLEND
- STORM
SQUASHER - CLARITY BLEND
- COURAGE
CONCOCTION - WELL BEING BLEND
- FEELING
CAMPY - BUG AWAY BLEND
Monster
Vapor spray contains a relaxing
blend of lavender, lemon, mandarin, rosewood, and
orange
essential oils. The fragrance is light and not overpowering, no matter
how many times it is sprayed to eliminate “monsters” or other fears. The silver
spray bottle displays
Winston, Monster Vapor’s mascot, the child protector. Attached to the bottle is
a story card to help ease a child’s fear of monsters.
Lemon -
Relieves stress. Combats insomnia. Boosts the immune system.
Mandarin -

Allowing my
children to spray Monster Vapor empowered them and helped them conquer the fear
of the dark. The over the past few weeks, Monster Vapor has been sprayed less
and less. My children are falling asleep earlier and using only a nightlight. I found that the spay is very soothing and
relaxing that I sometime spray it.
