[quote=Anonymous]20:15 again, the best thing to do is take advantage of the time before kids become stubborn, cool-obsessed teens: find work-arounds that make compliance fun, even silly. Race up the stairs to bed, get them to play with the food they refuse to eat (dissect the broccoli, eat salad with pliers, make a 'toblerone' for an orange (cut off both ends, slice one side and spread it open to reveal the wedges), distract them from screen time with more fun stuff (play-reading, airplane, visit an animal shelter, word games, etc.) One of the things I'm most ashamed of was my husband refused to let our youngest sleep in our room, ever. If we had just let him he would have grown out of it but no, it was a never-ending battle that nobody could win. I should have made sleeping in his own room seem fun and desirable instead of making a big deal out of a stupid rule.[/quote]
