In the past my DD has been pretty good in going to bed but for the past couple of months it's a nightmare getting her to go to bed. She just keeps getting up and coming out of her room. She uses every excuse - more water, a new book, she wants to be tucked in, she needs to go to the toilet etc. She is particularly bad when my DH is around. He works long hours so she doesn't really see him in the evening apart from weekends so usually at weekends it takes us two hours to get her to settle.
I keep trying to put her back to bed (I'm not very good in trying not to talk to her though!), I threaten her with shutting her door and no TV the next day but nothing seems to work.
Her bedtime is 7pm but I am starting to think that this maybe too early? I really don't know what to do. I am just so drained with continually putting her back to bed at the end of the day that I can't think how to handle it properly. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
