Desperate times and all that...

I have changed the time on my kids too in order to get them to go to bed!!!!!

I would also tell them that Santa is checking in that day to see how they are doing and they have to be in bed and asleep in order for him to be able to call!!!

I've done it, I wasn't struck down with some awful disease or anything like, it works!

Or you could just say bedtime is earlier today. Parents should be parents, when my parents made a decision it wasn’t my place as a child to question it.

Well, tell her it's reading bedtime and
give her milk & a simple snack 🍎🥕🍌🥩
And she can read until she passes out!
Only reason her feet hit the floor is for a bathroom trip.
No electronics, ambient 🎶 maybe.
Then go soak your day away!

PS: You're doing great! Likely things will change slowly for the better as a comfortable routine kicks. Does she have a "safety object" toy, stuffed 🧸, blankie, to hold, or even talk to ?

If sleep issues continue consider asking Pediatrician about melatonin... staying away from any RX is best until absolutely exhausting every other choice, therapy, meditation, herbals.

Not that it’s a great plan, but be sure to move the rest of the evening events forward so the routine is the same.

Don't! We have all been there, you sure deserve some "me" time.

No harm in trying

You are a good Mommy!

Really?


You underestimate yr kids.

Changing the clock is naughty
Just put her to bed
