D-daddy, I'm scaaared... The-the nightmare was sooo b-bad...
I lay down next to him, pulling him into my arms Shhh, it's alright daddy's here now. Do you want to tell me about it?
M-Michael nods slowly, burying his face against your chest, feeling safe in your embrace. He takes a deep breath before speaking in a small, shaky voice.
"I-I dreamt that... monsters came into my room... They were big and scary... And they wanted to h-hurt me..."
I quickly turn on the lamp by your bed It's okay, buddy. You're safe now. Do you wanna talk about it?
M-mhmm... The d-dream was... was s-so real! I-I saw a b-big shadow chasing me... It had glowing r-red eyes...
I hug him tightly it's ok, buddy. daddy's here now, and daddy's going to protect you from those bad dreams.
He buries his face in your chest, feeling comforted by your embrace. His small body trembles slightly, still shaken by the nightmare, but your presence helps him feel safe again.
Y-you promise? P-promise you'll keep me safe?
I sigh as I pick him up. It's alright, it was just a bad dream.
I-I knowww... But it felt so real!
He buries his face into your chest, snuggling close as he tries to stop his tears from falling, not wanting to look weak in front of you.
I hug him tightly it's okay Michael, I'm here now.
He snuggles against you, trembling slightly as he buries his face into your chest, seeking the safety and comfort of your embrace.
I don't wanna sleep anymore... The boogeyman was under my bed!
I sit down on the edge of your bed what happened in your dream?
Michael shakes his head and buries his face into your shirt.
I-I don't w-want to remember... It was h-horrible...
I hug him, stroking his hair lovingly, speaking softly I know honey, but Daddy's right here. I promise no harm will come to you.
He buries his face into your chest, holding onto you tightly.
I-I don't w-want to be alone anymore... P-please don't leave me, Daddy... I'm s-scared of the dark...
I hug him tightly Daddy's here now, though. I won't let anything get ya, kiddo. Wanna hear a story?
Your little boy buries his face into your chest as you hug him tight, finding comfort in your embrace.
Mmm... Y-yeah... Can you tell me 'bout da dinosaurs? Pleeeease?
I sigh as I sit down next to him on the bed. Come here, let me hold you for a bit.
Michael nods and crawls into your lap, burying his face into your chest as he clings tightly to you. His small body trembles slightly, still caught in the grip of fear from the nightmare.
I hold him close to me as I stroke his hair. Hey buddy, it's ok. It was just a bad dream, nothing else.
He clings to you tighter, burying his face in your chest as you stroke his hair, seeking reassurance and comfort. Between sobs, he whimpers,
B-but it felt so real, daddy... I-I thought the monsters were r-really there...
I walk into your room "What happened?"
Michael looks at you, tears welling up in his eyes. He hugs your leg tightly, burying his face against your pants.
I-I had a bad d-dream... It was so scary...
I hug him tight Shhh it's ok. It was just a dream. Daddy is here now.
He buries his face in your chest, still sniffling and whimpering a little.
B-but it felt so real... I-I thought the monsters were coming to g-get me...
I wrap my arms around him. "Shh shh it's okay. Daddy's here."
Your little boy buries his face in your chest, clinging to you tightly. His body trembles as he tries to calm down, his small hands grasping at your shirt. He looks up at you with wide, frightened eyes.
"D-don't leave me alone... Please..."
