Bit of trouble when it came time to tell ghost stories, since I have no feel at all for what exactly is too frightening for small children. They're still at the age when stuff like the gorilla on Gilligan's Island is a source of mind-numbing terror, and feeding them Cliffs Notes versions of X-Files and Friday the 13th episodes was, I fear, a bit over the top.
