Check the whole bed and room with him and get rid of the spiders if you find them. Then give him a pretend bottle of spider killer (the real one is too dangerous) and tell him to spray it all over the room even on his bed (make sure the bed dries out though) so that the spiders wont come. as he is going to sleep make sure he isn't scared - a night light might help. this will only take five minutes and it will make him feel less scared. if you share a room maybe move his bed next to yours for the night. in any case don't push him - this is something he has to get over and not be pushed through!

Get him a can of spider killer or something that looks like, but isnt spider killer and tell him it kills spider and he should spray it around his bed each night and the spiders will not come. If you buy the real stuff make sure he knows how dangerous it is and how to use it. If it is fake like water or air freshener then make it look authentic.

Look, if he refuses sleep, eventually the body will take over and knock him out. He can only stay awake for a period of time. So let him stay up. What's he gonna do when everybody's sleeping and he's the only one awake?

well i would say maybe heelp him get over his fear of spiders. First educate him, show him different pictures and what they do, start off with showing him some of tiny ones, one that dont look as scary as one may think. then i guess show him how their not bad, and that he shouldnt freak out, and what to do if you may come across one, also take him outside and show him some. Knowledge is the best way to conqure fear.

ok let him sleep with your parents or on the couch. If he refuses well say okay and eventually he will fall asleep. Other than that good luck buddy.

Have him sleep with you or check his bed with him watching to make sure there are no spiders.

Let him sleep somewhere else until he gets over it. hes freaked out. Hes just 6 yrs old. have some patience.

Change his sheets and blankets. turn the mattress. clean up in his room, and under his bed. then say " for sure now they are all gone.. no spiders in this room"
