Not even the helmet seemed to work against monsters, and Rodryck often came crying to his parents at night because he was scared. Once a child like Rodryck has begun to believe in monsters in the closet, it can be hard for parents to know how to respond.
Should they pretend that monsters are real and offer a pretend solution such as spraying the room with air freshener and calling it anti-monster spray? The monster is very real to her.
