My 7 year old keeps coming to my bed at night saying he has a bad/scarry dream. He won't tell me what he dreamt. What can I do about it ? How can I help him ?

Don't ask him what it was. That sticks it in his memory. Confirm with him that it was a dream and that sometimes dreams are scary.
Ask if he wants to say hamapil and ask Hashem to only give him nice dreams.
He needs reassurance and to feel safe again.
Hamapil usually works for us.

When my dd was about 5 she started having bad dreams. Eventually I spoke to her teacher and asked if there was anything she could think of that would have caused them. At first she couldn't think of anything. But then she realized, there was a certain book with slightly scary parts that she read the class a lot. Most kids loved it but once she was looking out for it, she noticed that my dd looked scared. She never read the book again and my dd soon stopped having nightmares.
So check it out, see if you can think of anything, even something minor to you, that could be causing it. I find a lot of counselors think scary stories are extra fun, so if it started while he was in camp, that could be it.
