She's 4 and has ALWAYS been tricky to get to sleep. Am sure have posted here before. We've had a good long patch recently - she's just started school and was so whacked bedtimes became a dream. But now she's built her resilience up she's trouble again. She's awake now having a tantrum in the other room with dp. We need to get seriously no nonsense but I need some really solid techniques to do this as can't face hours of tantrums each night. I know we need to discuss and negotiate less. Am thinking we need very simple rules and thinking of trying the marble jar thing where you take one out if they do bad bedtime, add one if good and then a treat when jar is full.
Really welcome any tips - it's really having a negative effect on us all as no one gets a restful evening when she's going through a bad patch.
ds is not great either so hoping we can get them all shipshape at same time.
Thanks for any help!
