Small children are well known to be afraid of voids (closets, under the bed) in their sleeping area. Knowing this, why don't we design children's rooms to eliminate them?

I’m not a parent, but going by pop culture, it seems like literally every child has the same fears. In pre-modern times, I imagine that they’d be sleeping in the same room as the parents, but if modern notions of privacy don’t permit that, seems we could at least design an enclosed capsule or something.

Not a psychologist or anything but isnt it healthy for a child to overcome a fear and not just avoid it

Also not a psychologist, but I would say that’s only true if the fear keeps them from enjoying life

As adults, we design our living spaces to be comfortable to us. We don’t intentionally make them scary so we can overcome.

If your kid can’t overcome a closet you’ve got bigger issues. I’m sorry but this entire thought process is too much.
