The Munchkin Light My Way Portable Nightlight – Keeping Children Cosy and Comforted All Night Long

Fear of the dark and night terrors are very common in children. Most parents will be familiar with children’s cries or the hushed rush of footsteps as your brood bandy into your bed. Children are highly imaginative and creative and also highly attuned to the tiniest of environment changes; a shadow becomes a monster, a foxes call becomes a siren. Just as children have miraculous dreams, they also experience terrifyingly real nightmares or even just discomfort, agitation and fear during bed time.

Babies spend their time tightly coddled and physically swaddled with primary care givers. For the young child, sleeping in their own bedroom is their first experience of being physically alone. A manifestation of the discomfort they experience about this sense of solitude emerges in nightmares. This is a perfectly normal stage for children to experience and they do and will grow out of it.

In the meantime they require a little extra comfort when they go to bed. Fear of the dark can easily be eradicated thanks to the Munchkin Light My Way Portable night light stocked by Parents’ Favorite. Affordably priced at $15.92, the night light is shaped like an owl; the perfect nocturnal companion for kids. Whereas most night lights require being fitted to walls and only light a small specified space, this portable night light gives children optimum control; they can carry it with them if they need the bathroom or to fetch a glass of water. They can even use it to reveal that the telling shadow on the ceiling is not actually a monster and that the strategically placed dressing gown is just that and not a creature come to get them.

Overnight jaunts and treks are now comfortable and cosy, with the own night light which can effortlessly be carried by little hands. The one button operation ensures easy use that even the youngest of children can master. 100% battery operated; no cords or charging stations are required. It’s also useful for parents who wish to check on children without disturbing them or to carry out parental duties including diaper changes. If your child forgets to turn off their light, the owl automatically shuts down after 20 minutes to conserve energy. Children can even sleep with their owl for added comfort and reassurance as the LED technology renders the owl cool to the touch.

Teaching children to be comfortable and feel safe in the dark is one way to bond, build trust and reassure your child. As children learn to sleep alone, or with siblings, a night light is not only practical but can serve as an added comfort whilst young kids grow into street smart adults. Building a sense of autonomy and independence in your child is incredibly rewarding and helping them through this particular developmental stage will be empowering for you both.
