These Unbelievably Adorable Night-Lights Will Help You Sleep More Peacefully
At some point in our lives, many of us have experienced a paralyzing fear when surrounded by darkness. For children, it’s a normal part of their development to be afraid of the dark. As little ones start to learn about the world that surrounds them, many things can become scary, especially fictional creatures, like ghosts or monsters, that may be hiding where no one can see them. However, when it comes to adults, this irrational fear may mean that they are suffering from a phobia called nyctophobia.

Share on FacebookThese are cute. My 11 year old is kind of afraid of the dark. I made the mistake a while back of saying you don't need to be afraid of the dark but be afraid of what is IN the dark. I was joking. But now he sleeps with his tv in as light every night. What was I thinking?
I believe the best way to solve this is to be honest with him. You just need to admit that you were joking, and promise him not to joke like this again. He will understand, don't worry.
Load More Replies...I purchased this for my sons room and they love it. The remote is useful but they like tapping the bear to change the colors. I also love that its squishy for the occasions that my youngest falls asleep with it. It's easy to charge and I can easily use my Kindle charger if I can't find the charger that came with the bear. It holds a charge right through the night and when plugged in, it charges quickly. It puts off just enough soft light for changing a diaper, breastfeeding, or getting up and down with your child when they aren't feeling well without turning on a brighter light and hurting their eyes. There are levels to the lights glow so you can go up and down to find what level of brightness suits you. The remote definitely comes in handy as I can change the lights level or colors from across the room while rocking my children. buy it from heere - https://www.amazon.com/LED-Nursery-Night-Lights-Kids/dp/B07YF3JN9V
I want these just because they are adorable, I'm not actually scared of the dark
A few years back I ordered a night light for my niece. I think she was about 7 and absolutely loved anything horse/unicorn. It was a chubby unicorn and phased through 5 light colors, purple and turquoise included, which are her favorites. It showed up and instead of this 7" tall lamp, it was literally half the size of a Diet Coke can, the door on the battery compartment was missing (no battery, which costs almost as much as the freaking light) and the eyes hadn't been painted on in the right position, so it looked psychotic. I didn't give it her, but learned a valuable lesson about really checking on a company before making an online purchase. I still laugh when I picture that stupid thing.
I want the rabbit lamp! But then my 3 yo would hug it as a plushie and possibly break it...
i think their supposed to be squishy and since their child friendly they most likely can hold up against a 3 yo
Load More Replies...I had a night light for years as a child. I suffered really bad nightmares and got to the point where I was scared to go to sleep. The light helped so much even though I was probably too old to use one. Now I like to sleep in complete darkness so don't be afraid that if your child uses a night light that they will need it forever. I do like a light on when I'm having lots of nightmares, I might look at getting one of these.
