[quote=Anonymous]I haven't gotten to the point of using timers but I know a lot of friends who do that for bedtime just to make bedtime less of a fight about everything. one thing I've done that was probably one of my best parenting hacks of all time was I told my daughter early on that we are a two book family and we only read two books at night so that way we don't fight about how many books to read a bedtime or get into the one more book trap. (I have made a hearty exception for if she wants to read a book to me we can do a third book because I'm trying to motivate her to try reading now that she's five) Books are a huge motivator for her so she understands if she doesn't brush her teeth or get into jammies by a certain time then she loses one of her stories[/quote]
