[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have found I need to stay rigidly consistent with my toddler (2.5) Dinner (same place, same time, same order of food), shower immediately follows bath, exactly five books and two songs, one last potty trip and teeth. Crib. “Okay it’s time to_____”. Never ask or sound like there is room for negotiation. Btw, my kid hated baths. We started showering him at 22 months and he loves it. I just put him in the shower, roll up my pants, and wash him with the handheld shower attachment [/quote] +1. And I stay completely neutral - neither thrilled nor anxious. We move from one predictable step to the next and never waver. But the end of a busy toddler day, toddlers want to be led and know what’s next. I think it’s comforting not to have “power”. We keep the same routine on weekends too. Set a routine and stick to it. Physically carry her if she won’t move. She’ll get with it soon. [/quote]
