Is Riley Paige afraid of the dark? 'OutDaughtered' star's big sister Blayke helps her overcome her fear
If you're a fan of the Busby clan, then you know for a fact that Riley Paige is a force of nature. The rambunctious little girl is always up for a challenge and open to trying out new things and experiences, making her one of the more bolder quints.
But as brave as Riley is, she's still a child and as it goes with most children, some experiences often feel new and unfamiliar. In the latest episode of 'OutDaughtered', we see Riley confront a situation that has the little girl rather upset.

Out of all the quints, Riley currently is the only one with her own room. The twins, Ava and Olivia share a room while Hazel and Parker bunk together. Riley is the only one that sleeps alone, in her own room. But off late, that seems to have become quite an issue -- Riley has been complaining about having nightmares and refuses to sleep in her room. The little girl maybe known for her headstrong ways, but it's rather heartbreaking to see her visibly upset over the issue, bawling over the fact that she has to sleep alone. She admits to having nightmares and being afraid and Adam and Danielle seem unsure about what to do about it.
Seeing that a troubled sleep makes her cranky during the day, resulting in a never-ending cycle, the Busbys cave and let her bunk temporarily with the twins, but insist that she has to sleep alone eventually.
Riley clearly isn't pleased, until big sister Blayke steps in. Blayke sits her down as asks her why is she afraid to sleep alone, to which Riley replies it's because she watched a scary show. Blayke sympathizes with her and explains that she understands the dark can be scary because it feels like something is there, but Riley needs to remember that monsters aren't real. Plus, if she gives up her own room now, she'll regret it when she gets older. Blayke even offers her a solution -- she can leave her bathroom light on, so it doesn't get too dark. Riley finally agrees to sleep in her own room. She even admits that she wants to be like her big sister when she grows up, 'because she's brave'. It's absolutely adorable to see Blayke come to her little sister's rescue and help her get over her fears. More power to you, Blayke and Riley!
