Six-year-old Hayden had a brand-new room of his own — but fear kept him from sleeping. No story, no night light, no gentle words could chase away the “bad guys” he imagined in the shadows.
Then Officer Schwartz stepped in. He walked through the room, checked every corner, shone his flashlight under the bed, and proved to Hayden there was nothing to fear. That night, Hayden slept soundly for the first time.
Sometimes, it only takes patience, presence, and a little light to turn fear into courage.
