[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sounds like electronics are causing part of the problem. I would suggest turning off all electronics at dinnertime. If there are fewer distractions, there will be less pushback for bedtime.[/quote] Exactly.[/quote] +1 I also wonder if she is attention-seeking. OP hasn't described a lot about the rest of the day but coming into her parents' bedroom and jumping on the bed seems like very aggressive attention-seeking. Perhaps after dinner and when there are no electronics, OP and her husband can institute some family time and play board games or something. If the child feels like she is getting more attention earlier then perhaps she will be more compliant later in the day when it matters most to OP and her husband.[/quote]
