For families & teachers
They're scared at night
Naming the fear and having a plan makes it smaller.
What you can do
- 1Listen to their fear without brushing it off.
- 2Make a plan together: a soft light, a teddy, who to call.
- 3Repeat the same routine every night: it feels safe.
You could say
“Being scared is normal. I'm nearby and you know how to call me.”
In class
Watch the story of the light that was afraid in “Lila's Library” (in Spanish) and draw “what makes me brave”.
