3. Easing Bedtime Battles: Predicting Stalls and What to to?

In this video, we dive into the crucial aspect of predicting and managing stalls effectively.

Stalls often occur because toddlers aren't quite ready to part ways with you at bedtime. In Part 1, we discussed the importance of establishing playful connection time prior to bedtime to fulfill their emotional needs.

Now, let's talk about getting ahead of potential stalls. We recommend frontloading all possible stall scenarios. For instance, announcing the closure of the kitchen after dinner prevents last-minute snack requests at bedtime. Similarly, preemptively taking them to the potty or offering a final drink of water before bed can reduce interruptions later.

Consistency is key. By sticking to your word and following through on bedtime routines, you instill a sense of safety and security in your child. Avoiding frequent changes in response throughout the night helps minimize disruptions and promotes better sleep for everyone.

Join us as we explore strategies to anticipate and address bedtime stalls effectively, creating a smoother bedtime routine for both you and your toddler. Don't forget to subscribe for more parenting tips and tricks!
