Orion, the boy this film follows, imagines a school bully punching him, kids laughing, and dogs chasing him. This is still daytime worry, not a monster.
Theme. Night-time anxiety often starts as a 'what if' list. Here it is social first: being smaller, being laughed at, being chased. Cartoon punches can still teach the body to brace.
What to say. You might say: 'That is his worry-brain showing school at its worst, not a prediction. If the punch or the chase is a lot, we can skip.'
