Do Not Say This To Children

I always try not to say this to children no matter how tempted I am. “Shhh! You’ll wake up the monster under the bed… And if he gets too loud, the closet crazies will come out and pull you into the deepest darkest night. Sleep tight”.

I think you are right. It's not such a great thing to say. I love that ad with the little boy creeping into his parent's room because he's afraid of the thunder, then he gets the sweet-smelling blanket and feels safe. hmm...you may not have seen it.
