Man my toddler is getting so hard to get to bed. So many stalling tactics! I’m thirsty, I’m cold, my bed is too comfy!!…

Ommmgg mine too! 10,000 questions, 4 bathroom trips, talking, singing, needs water, so many things lol.

@phoebesmommy, she’s 3, will be 4 in August

@jennyrae17, you can try to ask her the things she is afraid of and explain what they are. How old is yours?

@phoebesmommy, yes she has a lot of new fears. But I remember being young with a big imagination and being afraid too. So I don’t want to push aside her fears.

@jennyrae17, we went down that route too but it didn’t help. She had some fears too out of the blue but I know it’s common when their imaginations begin to bloom.

@phoebesmommy, yes I have been trying the taking things away from her if she doesn’t go to bed. But I would like to make bed time positive not negative.

@jennyrae17, I hope it goes well. I think it’s really important for them to not be able to manipulate. W my DD it escalated to her screaming her lungs out if I didn’t lay in bed w her til she fell asleep. It was a rough couple nights but that positive reinforcement plus a new nightlight she got to pick out changed everything

@dontspankme, 😂🙄

I could have wrote this. My son just came out again saying so after 7 months it’s going to be 2019 mommy? My face 😒 lol Boy go to sleep!

@phoebesmommy, I am totally trying this!

Mine was doing this too but I started a sticker chart for her. Every night she stays in bed the whole night she gets a sticker the next day. 10 sleeps leads to a trip to the dollar tree and she gets to choose whatever item she wants. It has worked well!

@monavidaa, all I hear all day from Olivia is “I’m hungryyy momma” I feel like her waitress and maid most of the time lol

@jennyrae17, seriously Memphis will be red in the face at 5 years old trying to at least squeak out a fart..trying to delay going to bed lol

@beakymcspence, omg olivia does that always 😂

@monavidaa, forgot to feed dinner 😂😂

Mine will says she has to go to the bathroom and you see her sitting there desperately trying to squeak out a fart🙄

@sparklingjewels, Haha every little noise my 3 year olds like what that mommy?!?

@sparklingjewels, the things they come up with haha

Mine just told me she can’t sleep with all that noise... 👀 there is no noise 🤨
