My kid says, the pictures on dresser are moving and making scarier faces?
Answer:
Part of this stage is a building of trust between you. He needs to know that you take his fears and concerns seriously.
For sure, show him the pictures and let him see they don't move or wiggle or make faces. Then give him some power. Ask him what would make him comfortable and then let him do it. If it is to turn the pictures face down, let him do it. If it is to remove them, let him find a new place in the house for them. This puts the solution in his hands.
he's being haunted.
MOVE THEM OUT OF THE SPACE. IT IS STILL IN THE ROOM EVEN IF IT IS FACE DOWN. UNTIL THEY ARE OVER THE FEAR JUST KEEP THEM IN A DIFFERENT SPOT. ITS NO BIG DEAL THEY WILL GET OVER IT IN DUE TIME. MOST KIDS HAVE FEARS OF THINGS.

he has a fever, a high immagination, schizophrenic, or allergic to something that messes with his sensory perception, or he is hungry for attention.
It's his imagination. Remind him that those are pictures of him, there is nothing wrong with them and there is nothing wrong with him for having a vivid imagination.
maybe he doesn't like the pictures of himself . .
Take them out of the room
Maybe he just doesn't like the pictures.
I think all kids go thru something like that. There use to be snakes in my bed for a while...I live on an island where there are no wild snakes...so tell him it's ok, don't get mad cause he might not tell you about something else that scares him and it might be important. Maybe you could remove the pictures!?
Does he have a fever? Sounds like hallucinations. Or nightmares. Just reassure him, and show him that there is nothing scary about the pictures. If he does have a fever, give him Tylenol.
If you take the pictures away, something else will take their place in his "sphere of fear", so it won't solve the problem.
As a child, we can see things, our minds being so big for imagination. When I was little, I used to think my china dolls up on my drsser moved, and looked at me in bed. It was so scary. My mom would hide them in the closet, because I cried so much. To help your son, you might change his views of scary pictures of himself. By letting him take pictures of himself and framing them. He will know that he did it all, and there is nothing to be frightened of. It may be hard to calm your sons fear or pictures. Once they get thier mind set on pictures being scary it sticks with them. Be patient and help him fight his fears. All kids grow out of certain fears, it just takes time.
You can probably can move them to another location. Remember kids can see unexplainable things that us parents can't see. Sit and talk to your son about what he see's. Im sure he wants to talk toy ou about it. Good luck
He could possibly have a wild imagination, I remember when I was little I used to do the same thing. I used to watch a lot of horror movies when I was younger, so maybe it's something he's watching? I think your best bet is to ask him why the pictures keep moving, and see if he would like it if you remove them. Also, make sure you tell your pediatrician about this, it's best if they know. Good luck. I remember hearing about psychic powers: usually all children possess psychic powers, but a parent will usually change it because they make sure their child knows "there's no such thing as monsters" and sometimes "things just do not exist." Indeed, children can sometimes see things adults cannot.
you should hire a medium to inspect your house
Try letting him draw pictures of other things that would make him happy and then put those in place of the current pictures..you really don't need pictures on the dresser when you have an artist right in the family that can provide you with the greatest pictures from himself ever!!
Maybe they are.
If it were my child I would take them to a doctor. You should rule out anything medical ie; vision problems, neurological disorders. If everything checks out ok then look at his pre bedtime routine. Books, cartoons, or movies that might be spooky. How is his self esteem? Have there been any recent changes in the makeup of the family or household? Maybe he doesn't feel safe.
Take them out of his room, since that really needs to be a safe place to him so he will comfortable sleeping. Put them out in another area of the house so that he can still see them and see that everything is ok and after a while he will grow out of it. Don't treat him like you don't believe, explain that it isn't possible but you know it's scary. If he is still scared with them in another room, think about talking to the school counselor, just you, to see what they think.
How old is your son? If he is old enough to understand about the paranormal explain it to hi. Find out if somebody that lived in the house before you ha dies in that room. If possible turn the room into something else and give your son another room to sleep in.
It sounds like somebody from the past doesn't like having you son stay in the room. You could tell you son that the next time it happens say out loud " who ever you are I want you to leave this and and don't return" The spirit should leave and find a new place to stay. We have 4 spirits in our house with us. They use to scare us but we have become accustom to them that they don't do much anymore but hide things on us. They use to let us see them which I haven't seen anything in a long time. We do hear them from time to time but no moving things anymore. I am guessing it is because we are not scared of them. Good Luck!
Its normal. I went through the same thing when I was a child. Except for me - I thought at night all my stuffed animals would come to life and start talking to each other and doing all sorts of weird things (it didn't help that I had mice in my bedroom making noises at night either). Every night before I went to bed, I had to turn all of my toys facing the floor, because I believed that if their eyes were facing the floor then they couldn't come to life.
One night, I also saw Pee Wee Herman walking around inside of a painting hung up on the wall. Even though logic tells me that it didn't really happen, even to this day I swear it seemed SO real.
Kids have wild imaginations. Just put all the pictures facing down every night before he goes to bed. It will eventually pass.
You didn't say how old the child is. Some ages have more nightmares than others. For now, put the pictures away in a box. Just get them out of there. If he keeps having scary dreams for more than a few weeks, get him to a doctor. He may have other problems and the doctor can help,
Why is the pictures on the dresser if they do not look at the pictures they would not making scarier face.
I would say he has an active imagination, and take the pictures down for now. If this is primarily at bed time, then it may be a stall tactic, If something else comes up once the pictures are gone, then I would be firm and say enough is enough. But there maybe shadows that are causing it to look like that so it maybe something very real to him. Don't minimize his fear, just releive it.
I agree with the other person who said to remove the pictures. Not trying to be spooky or anything but children can see things we adults cannot. I pray there are no demonic activity in that room.
I would talk to him about it. Maybe he senses other things and sees things that you can't. If you believe in stuff like that.
My daughter everytime I would go into my bed room she would have the picture of my best friend, who passed away a couple of years ago face down I would ask her why and she said he was making faces...I just told her even if he was there making faces at her, he wouldn't her to tell him to stop, eventually she left the picture alone. Since the pictures are of himself, just tell him to tell the pictures to stop it. And tell him that they will listen.
While I do believe that kids can sense things that adults can't it is more than likely in this case an active imgination.
This sounds like he has an over acting imagination. Take the pictures out if they are scaring him that badly. There's no reason to leave them there if he's afraid. He also may be looking for attention but children usually have fears that are not founded. They don't understand reality and pretend yet so to him he may be scared even if you think it's no big deal.
bleh. i was scared of the crappy clown border i had in my room till i was old enough to redecorate when i was 12. it didn't do me any harm, apparently.
Mabby he is seeing something not just the pictures mabby something else he dont want to tell you. Mabby his room is haunted.
