COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.

Many people view a fear of darkness as a childish fear, something a child will overcome. If left untreated, however, this childhood fear can follow a child into adulthood, affecting their sleep and overall health.

To help parents alleviate their child's fears before they become too much, author Chad Cramer publishes his new book, "Lights Out!: Helping Your Kids Overcome Their Fear of the Dark" (published by WestBow Press), a unique guide for parents of children who struggle with fear when the lights go out.

"The fear of the unknown, the darkness and unfamiliar sounds can be overwhelming to a child's outlook," Cramer says. "These fears and insecurities often lead to other harmful feelings or anxieties, which can cripple a child's potential."

Packed with examples from the lives of his children and also his own childhood, "Lights Out!" challenges this prevalent fear of the dark through Scripture and fear-busting activities for parents and children to complete together.

"The earlier we can instill biblical principles regarding fear and the proper view of God," Cramer says, "the sooner our children can gain the security and confidence they need to choose courage over fear."
