Thank you for clicking in abeg, your advice would be highly appreciated.
Its my kid brother of two years old o, just of recent he has tured the night time to a hollywood horror movie,
Have you guys ever heard of anyone who runs away from his/her shadow? Thats what my brother does o, he dosnt just run, he runs and scream aloud in an horrific tone...
Every body in the family cant deal with this anymore, we literally put off all the light in the house just to make sure he dosnt sight his shadow. But guys n babes, for how long will this continue? I cant be starved from Nepa during the day, and my kid brother robs me off generator light at night. My laptop is dead now sef. Im fed up o. Pls advice us o.

I'd advise you to take that brother of yours to the nearest hospital or lab for test. Hope he wasn't bitten by a dog?? Pray its not rabbis

probably he watches horror cartoons or something like that. watch his friends, he might be undergoing some changes he can't explain too well. google up ' terrible twos', its a stage he'll soon pass through.

you guys should just hang in there n enjoy it while it lasts, lols.

Go for a professional advice. Something must have triggered off his reaction to shadow. You can see a psychologist or a therapist

A 2 year old can reason, so talk to him. Ask him if he watched a scary film, etc. Talk to him on his level. Ask him what makes him scared, etc. Then do something about it depending on his kinda character.
Take him out during the day and show him his shadow, then tell him to stomp on it and make fun of it. The goal is for him to get comfortable with his shadow.

Poor boy. I feel his pain.

Monitor what he watches on tv, keep praying for him also. Spirit of fear is a really bad one, it haunted me when i was much younger. i know mine started when i watched some horror movies like that, but i outgrew it.

OMG people! He's two years old for goodness sakes. angry This is normal. Imagine being two years old and not knowing what a shadow is or why it suddenly appears sometimes and follows you around, doing everything you do. Of course he'd be freaked out. embarassed

@ OP my younger sister used to be afraid like hell of her shadow too around that same age. Whenever Nepa took light and candles were lit she would scream n cry. We had to explain to her everybody had shadows. She kind of understood but was still afraid all the same because it followed her everywhere. So we found out ways to avoid her seeing her shadow to help her out. Like placing her back on the wall or placing the candle in a way that her shadow was behind her. Anyway, she outgrew it.....at least I hope she did cos she's 24yrs now...imagine if she's still scared...hahahaha..I will ask her.
