Q&A: How can I help my 4-year-old feel less scared of Halloween?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...

- Why Halloween can feel scary for preschoolers and what's happening developmentally as they work through the difference between what's real and pretend.

- Strategies you can use to help your child feel safe and confident around spooky decorations, costumes, and trick-or-treating.

- A simple tip you can start doing now to help your child understand that masks and costumes are just pretend.

- How to prepare your child ahead of time with coping strategies for when something feels too scary in the moment.

- How to know when it may be appropriate to gently stretch your child's comfort zone and when to call it a night.

If your little one is nervous about ghosts, monsters, or just the noise and chaos of Halloween night, this episode will help you turn spooky season into a playful, confidence-building experience for your child and a less stressful one for you.
