[QUOTE="SRL, post: 32162, member: 701"] My best results at bedtime usually came from giving up the battle. I told difficult child I was tired and was going to bed. He could stay in his room and read or draw or play quietly and that he should hop into bed when he was ready. Then I went into my room and shut the door. He'd usually draw and it usually wasn't long before he'd get into bed since he didn't have anyone to fight against. Books on tape work well for some kids. They are usually short for young ages so I copied them onto longer tapes so it could play for 40 minutes. Like Wildflower, I found that earlier worked better for 2 of my 3 kids. The keeping him up later till he wore himself out usually backfired on me. [/QUOTE]
