[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why sit with them? Read for 15 minutes, bathroom and then shut the door. If they come out, walk them back. If you hear them out of bed, open the door and put them back in bed. It might take a week, but then they'll be going to bed by themselves and not getting out.[/quote] This. I basically cut the routine to the bone. Put them into bed, give them a hug and kiss, and say goodnight. I promise your kids will be ok. If YOU feel guilty, be extra lovey throughout the day. Read earlier.[b] Reclaim your evenings/night. Everyone will be better off.[/b][/quote] Love this advice. Does anyone else remember when Mrs. March told Meg to do this with the twins in "Little Women?" I couldn't believe how many of Meg's parenting problems were similar to my own :) I guess some things haven't changed in 150 years. [/quote]
