My 5 yr old ds is an absolute nightmare at bedtime, he's spending a good 45 mins - 2 hours running around waving his hands in air, coming out of room and going downstairs, just generally doing anything he perceives as naughty. I'm exhausted a feeling sick at the prospect of doing it all again tonight. He used to do this so I went out for bedtime every night and let dh do it, for the last few months we have taken turns but it's now horrendous again. He's got a reward chart as there is a particular item he wants and when he gets 5 stars he can have it, but even that's not encouraging good bedtime behaviour. It caused a row between dh and I last night and to be honest I don't even want to go home after work
DS1 is being affected by it all too.
