How can i help my 6 yo daughter at bedtime? she cries as soon as i mention bedtime as she has 'bad dreams' and she says she is 'scared'

Talk to Pediatrician: Get professional input. Nightlight helps some, worsens others. Reading positive/happy stories until asleep can help. Monitor & limit tv with negative / adult themes, as often "replay" in kids with limited ability to understand (=bad dreams). Screen for bullying or abusive contact. Talk to pediatrician--sleep is essential.
