I don't have any children, but I remember that when I was a child, I 
had night fears of the Black Riders (Nazgul) when I read Lord of the 
Rings. I dealt with it by reciting the "Four posts around my bed,
four angels round my head" nursery rhyme. Which was very helpful even 
tho' my bed didn't have posts and I don't believe in the four 
evangelists.

Four post around my bed
Four angels round my head
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
bless the bed that I lay on
and if I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
