Please help!! Our ds is becoming increasingly resistant in going to bed despite a longstanding routine of bath, stories and bed...
It started as soon as he went into a bed about 15 mos ago. We've tried the supernanny approach, sitting inside his room and gradually camping outside his room, later bedtimes, shorter naps, laying with him....even (embarrassed to say) a spot of blackmail.
He seems to get himself hyper and becomes more and more rebellious, even throwing a full potty down the stairs on more than one occasion. It seems he will only stay in his bed when he decides he's tired.
Please share your experience, strength and hope around this.......I do hope we can reclaim our evenings at some point without this nightly nightmare!
