Bedtime Tip courtesy of Dream Team Baby: Anticipate, set clear boundaries, and remain calm. Try to predict things that could get them out of bed. Fulfill likely requests before they are requested (i.e., take two sips of water, have final trip to the potty, etc). Covering your bases helps keep the negotiation down. Then when the lights go out and you hear, “Mommy, I’m thirsty” hold your ground. Resist the temptation to reiterate all the reasons you know they are NOT thirsty. Calmly tell them they already had their water and now it is time to sleep. Stay neutral and keep your interactions succinct.
