Normally bedtime is a nightmare with stalling tactics and getting back up a million times. Tonight I tried the new routine we talked about and she was asleep by 8:15. Still can't believe it worked. Finally catching a break.
That's a win right there. My kids do the same stalling thing forever. What's your secret? We've tried everything from routine charts to bribes basically.
This is the stuff that matters. People talk about big parenting wins but getting a kid to bed without it turning into a three hour ordeal? That's actually huge.
Celebrate that one. My oldest still pulls the back up routine and she's 9. Once you find what works, write it down because you'll want to remember it.
That's a huge win right there. Bedtime battles are exhausting so when they actually just go down smooth it feels like you solved world peace. What was your secret tonight?
This is huge. One successful bedtime sets you up for a good morning. Enjoy that win because tomorrow might be different but tonight you're a legend.

Nice! Getting them to bed on time is half the battle. Everything after that is smooth sailing for the rest of the night. How'd you manage to avoid all the getting back up?
