To threaten with the witches or the cuckoo

Never, under no concept we must threaten our son with the witches or the cuckoo. His fantasy makes him believe that these things really exist and then it is not so simple to convince him otherwise.

Let's think that the child often feels scared by insecurity or by solitude and that if we still invent him an imaginary friend who has come to this world only to punish the only thing that we will achieve will be to create a free fear.

That's why it is preferable to avoid to give these examples to a child.
