[quote=Anonymous]This is so frustrating, I’m here too and getting my 2 yo through the nighttime series of activities is such a DRAG on me! Here’s the script I use over and over and over: It’s time to [brush teeth [example but same for bath, potty, PJs, whatever.] go get your toothbrush. [wait] Ok, pretty soon mommy will get your toothbrush for you. [usually she gets it at this point but if not...] Ok, mommy is doing it now because you’re having trouble getting going. And then keep the process moving, firmly, even if there’s a tantrum because they have to know you mean what you say. I never, ever negotiate or beg her bc I am the adult and in charge. (Yeah right. Lol) I repeat this a mind numbing amount of times per day but I find that the tip off of hearing I am about to intervene is something that works for my daughter at this age. I enjoy drbeckyatgoodinside on Instagram for similar scripts and toddler management tips. Good luck, bedtime is the worst![/quote]
