My dd is nearly 10 and I still have to call her to get ready, stand over her before she will put on her pyjamas, clean teeth, go to the toilet, etc. I have to supervise her getting into bed. She stalls at every stage and it takes so long. It seems such a waste of time for me. I am more than happy to do the bedtime story/tucking in bit but how much longer do I have to do the whole routine? I'm sure I was quite independent at her age.
