I'm playing on Xbox One X and whenever a kid gets scared by a monster under the bed he has the option to ask a parent to spray the monster.
Asking a parent to spray the monster does nothing. The parent just ignores the kid. I then have to switch control to the parent and manually get him/her to spray the monster.
Sometimes the option to ask to spray monster is listed twice in the option wheel and it doesn't matter which you choose the parent just ignores it.

Toddlers seem to be the buggiest for me. I might have to click an interaction 5 different times for it to finally happen hours later (sim time.) Earlier i clicked to read toddler to sleep at 6pm and he didn’t actually sit down and do it until about 10:30.
Yes, been an issue on pc for at least year now so i dont see it getting fixed on console any time soon.
Kids in my households do wake up their parents to spray monsters under the bed, they will also ask their teen sibling or nanny to help. They have always done this since I got the game. I do not have the console.
Its two solutions to this. One is trade your kids half bed for a full bed. the second solution is to use a child's night light on the wall near their bed.
The one I like best is a wall light and has parenthood logo its called ( starry night, night light ) it comes in blue yellow and pink, also the stars move.
When kids have a night light for kids I think 99.99% of the time they sleep through the night.
A friend on this forum told me about the nightlight for kids beds and it works.

Also, why do children always give a yelp of terror when they wake up?
EtA-Oops, I didn't realize I was in the console forum, (that's while I get for posting before I'm fully caffeinated in the morning!). I play on PC.
When it happend the first time, I found it kinda cute and a nice detail, but now it happens almost every night...that just takes the fun out, plus I don't get why the child has to wake up every adult sim in the house, it's stupid.
Also I DO switch to one parent and let them spray the monster, but often the child doesn't follow the parent back into the bedroom and therefore does not see the monster being sprayed...so I have to first manually make the parent and the child go into the bedroom (and hope they stay there, the child sometimes wanders of to eat/watch tv and other stuff very quickly after waking up the parents), then spray the monster and than put everybody back to sleep......all of that is just annoying especially if you have to do it almost every night...
the nightlights don't seem to make it much better and I really don't want a child to sleep in a big bed...
I have notices though, there is one child bed that says something along the lines of "no monsters under this bed" in the description, I only resently saw that and gave it to one child, for now there were no monsters, so I hope it really works.
But I don't want to give every child the same bed, especially since it's not a good one.
This is a bug. When the monster was first introduced selecting the ‘ask to spray monster’ interaction resulted in the target sim spraying the bed. You can choose to select ‘spray monster’ from the parent, which still works, but the interaction from Child -> Parent does not.
Let's add to your bug, correction the Bug, The latest News now The Butler and all Nannies will go to any half bed even if the bed belongs to the Butler. with no kids in the home. they stay in the room all day talking to the monster and spraying. Done as a group effort lol. So, I just removed all half beds. Report it? best not to. If they work on the bug, next we may see the Butler and Nannies sitting on the floor eating the monsters under the bed.

I know, I got that one (actually two, one for each child), but the option to spray the monster/ask to spray the monster still comes up.
