diaperwarrior_9 Expected the thunderstorm thing to blow over after we talked it through once, but now my kid bolts for the closet the second it gets dark outside. Tried keeping the lights on and staying calm with him, but that just seems to drag it out longer.
playdatepros Maybe the calm talk needs to happen way before it gets dark, like during breakfast, so it doesn’t feel tied to the moment.
diaperwarrior_9 Tried shifting the talk to breakfast but he’s still bolting for the closet the second it gets dark. Didn’t change a thing.
MomNMore83 Maybe the closet is turning into his go-to spot because fighting the dark feels bigger than the storm itself. What does he actually do once he’s in there?
diaperwarrior_9 He just shuts the door and sits quiet in the dark corner, won’t answer if I talk to him through it.
