Why Is My 9 Yr Old Grandchild So Fearful Of Sleeping Alone?

Why is my 9 yr old grandchild so fearful of sleeping alone? He is an only child but lives with his loving supportive parents who provide him with a stable home and environment. He is sensitive and bright, mature in logical thinking but immature in social skills.
