What do I do if my son sees ‘monsters’ in the house?

Few things are more disturbing for a father What to see your child terrified– And not to be able to stop.

Prominent video

That is exactly what Tiktok User Candace Dior (@Thecandacedior) and his family are dealing.

In his viral video, which has obtained more than 3.4 million visits, he shares the meetings of his 3 -year -old son with a “monster” that will not leave him alone. Now she is going back to Tiktok for adviceadmitting that it is scared and with a complete loss why do it next.

As everything started

Dior explains that a few weeks ago while he was used to his son, he suddenly asked: “Mommy, can you make the monster leave?”

At first, she ruled it out. “I thought, ‘baby, there is no monster here,” he recalls.

But his son insisted that there was, even pointing to a corner of the room. Then, Dior played.

“I turned around and looked at the corner and said: ‘Monster, you must leave,” she says.

However, that did not work. “He was like, ‘But mom, can you make the monster leave?'”

The child finally asked his father to “kick the monster.” Dior’s husband entered the room, pretended to chase the monster, and even threatened to “hit him” for his son to feel safe.

That seemed to calm him down, but only for a while.

The monster does not go

The next morning, Dior entered his son’s room and found him completely under the sheets, something she says she had never done before.

“That’s when I knew, my baby is afraid,” she says.

Since then, she says she has been acting differently.

“He has been closing closet doors, closing the door of my room if it is dark in the hall. It is nervous, ”explains Dior.

Then, a few nights later, things intensified. Dior and her husband were in bed on the top floor while her son and daughter in the middle were down. Suddenly, the child climbed the stairs, trembling and terrified.

“Mommy, the monster will not stop looking at me,” he said.

At that time, Dior didn’t know what to say.

“I said: ‘Baby, remember, there is no monster. We made the monster out ‘.

But his son would not move.

“No, it’s below,” he insisted.

When Dior asked what he was doing, his answer made his heart fall.

“He keeps looking at me.”

‘I believe him’

After that, his son got under his father’s blanket and refused to move.

It was then that Dior realized, this was not just a bad dream.

“I have heard things with my own ears. I’ve seen things with my own eyes, ”she says. “Anyone who knows me knows that my mother’s house has something strange (expletive). Paranormal, extraterrestrial (expletive) “.

Dior says he has been praying without stopping, trying not to panic. But she is not sure what to do next.

“I don’t know what kind of energy this thing is, but I know that certain spirits feed on fear,” she says.

Then, she has been telling her son not to be afraid, but at the same time, he doesn’t want him to get involved with that.

“I really don’t know what to do,” he concludes.

What to do if your child says that he sees a monster, according to experts

Psychologists seem to agree that many children go through a “Monstrous phase“” Parently around 3 to 9 years, when your imagination begins to function wild. ”

According to the child therapist Jen Burke, who spoke with Pure foamThis is when children begin to distinguish between fantasy and reality, which can lead to the fears of darkness, shadows or things that stalk under the bed.

If your son suddenly is terrified of a “monster” in his room, Burke says that the worst thing he can do is laugh or discard it.

No matter what the father creates at that time, fear is very real for a child. Instead of saying: “There is no such thing as monsters,” the therapist suggests trying to validate his feelings, something like, “he must feel really scary to think that there is a monster in his room.”

Another advice is to make the monster less scary. Burke suggests turning it into silly: tell your son to draw the monster, imagine that skating or falling from a surf table, or even pretending that they are a superhero that defeats him.

If fear is interrupting his dream, Burke recommends building a relaxing lying routine: things like a night light, a favorite teddy animal, relaxing music or deep breathing before bedtime can help a child feel safe.

In the comments, users shared several theories about what the child could be seeing. They also gave Dior some tips on how to handle the situation.

“It’s called Loosh,” a user theorized, referring to the assumption energy Humans produce when they are afraid, something that other entities supposedly feed. “That’s all he says, look at him.”

“The hat of the hat lurked me for years when I was 10 years old,” another shared. “I believe him.”

He Hat man It is a well -known bleak figure that many people around the world claim to have seen, often described as a type of “shadow”.

“My grandmother used to open the Bible to Psalm 23, read it and place it under the pillow,” shared a third. “Psalm 91 for protection. Pray against the monitoring of the spirits. Deepen with those prayers. Involve the family. “
