My child's afraid of the rain, especially when there's thunder & lightning

Hi, I guess most of small kids scared of lightning and thunder. It goes same to my son...when he was awake, he will scare of thunder and lightning. So I always make sure I will at his side during raining time. However,when my son is sleeping, he won't easily wake up because of thunder and lightning. To play safe on your condition,try to stay at your daughter's side during raining season,at least she feel secure. Tell her that she is safe and nothing is gonna happened. Give her a hugs and kiss her forehead,she can feel the warmth and sure will feel comfortable.

Sometimes if you put your daughter in bed with you even just for the night it might help. She probably needs something to feel more comfort at this time. If she has something special it will be a comfort too =)

I don't know the age of your son, but I guess he is a little kid. Many children are afraid of thunder and lightening when they are young. But, this will change when as they grew older. My sister was very afraid of thunders when she was a kid. She used to sleep with my parents on those days and used to hide below tables or chairs when it happened during day time. But, now she doesn't care about it. Time will change it. Don't worry.

Well, as you've mentioned, I really do think that playing music is taking things too far. However, a little bit of white noise in the room with her would probably help her to sleep a lot during the rainy season. By white noise I really do mean something as simple as having a fan running in the room. If you are afraid that it would make her cold, you could turn it so it doesn't blow on her at all but it is still giving that little bit of white noise.
