If your toddlers are anything like mine, they might be getting SCARED of the DARK at bedtime! We close the closet, give him a nightlight, check under the bed, leave the door open and hall light on, even have Dad kill whatever WAS there, it's just about impossible to help the poor little guy!
After having my son, Ethan say his prayers I summarize this verse for him, and believe it or not, praying with him almost always makes him feel better! Isn't God GOOD???
"I laid me down and slept; I awoke;
for the Lord kept me." ~Psalm 3:5
for the Lord kept me." ~Psalm 3:5
This verse helps him to remember that he does not need to be afraid to close his eyes, in fear that he might be missing out on something scary going on. God is with him, Jesus is in his heart, and he will keep him safe, and brave all night until morning!
Good luck and God Bless!
