5-Star Rated in Children’s Books ~ Angels on Your Pillow
Not Just a Book for Kids
Helping children defuse scary dreams when sweet bedtime stories aren’t enough…
We can guide children through the land of frightening dreams and possibly even prevent them.
Nightmares sometimes get the best of us, imagine how intense they could be for a little person! They might not understand that they are not real. There are some steps we can take BEFORE going to bed to help prevent bad dreams.
- Set up a little routine. Try to keep bedtime at the same time every night. Make it a soothing time with a cushy stuffed animal and an uplifting bedtime story. (Angels on Your Pillow would be perfect!)
- Avoid television right before bedtime—especially anything tense or scary like the news
- Say “angels on your pillow” when you tuck them into bed. Let them know that their angels are guarding them, and they won’t let anything bad happen.
- Have a warm and comforting nightlight and give a big loving hug
If a nightmare should strike:
- Establish that it is now over. Hold them lovingly, and explain that it was just a dream and that they are safe in their bed.
- Explain that it happens to everyone. Tell them you understand that the dreams can seem real, you’ve had them too.
- Do your magic. Use your monster spray, fairy dust or just remind them that the angels will keep your family safe while they sleep.
- Set up the comforting scene again. They’ve come to count on their bedtime routine to get them to a peaceful place, so make sure the nightlight is on, the stuffed animal is in bed, and maybe discuss some happy dreams that could be around the corner.
