It used to be, when our kids couldn’t fall asleep at night, there was something horrible and scary keeping them awake.  The boogie monster was in their closet or under their bed.  They just knew it!  The remedy for parents was pretty simple: turn on the lights, show the child there is nothing there, and then it’s “sweet dreams” and back to sleep.  So how do parents intervene when it’s not something scary that’s keeping their kids awake – it’s something they love.
