T.V.
Dear Trish,
Get some nightgowns(they are easier to slip over her little head), no story until the gown or pajamas are on (without a fuss), teeth are brushed, and she’s gone potty (if you are training her at this time), drink of water, etc.
At bedtime ask your daughter to go pick out a storybook and as soon as she’s in her gown and the other nighttime tasks are done you will read to her. If she’s misbehaving, tell her there will be no story and she must go right to bed.
Keep the same bedtime
Read for only 15 – 20 minutes
Do not lay with her until she falls asleep
Tuck her in, say prayers, kiss goodnight and tell her you will see her in the morning
Get a cute night-light that she can focus on.
Above all,you’re the Mama and you’re in charge.
Blessings....and Happy 2009
