My child is scared of darkness and every evening wants to be home by sunset. I don't know why and I'm worried. Is she seeing something supernatural. Whats the reason for her fear?

For kids and even for many adults the fear of not knowing what's out there is the biggest fear. I won't go into the supernatural angle but I think if ur kid wants to stay home after dark it's good in a way as u know ur kid will be safe especially if playing alone with friends. Talk to ur kid and show that darkness is nothing but the same environment only without light.switch off the light and switch it on again and show ur kid how everything is the same
