Bedtime stress

[Premmy]

Honestly losing the plot. I think im just really shit at "punishment"

So... my 7 year old is a nightmare at bedtime. Ive tried so much nothing works.

I put her to bed, we do the whole routine, shower, reading, nightlight, kisses etc. Then its question after bloody question. Then she get out 50000 times, comes out for a wee or for a sore this and that and im honestly losing it.

Ive tried the free pass thing, ive tried charts, ive tried it all nothing WORKSSSSS

What do i doooo?!

I don't really know. Supernanny used to do that thing where you just gently return them with 'its bedtime' and nothing else.

When mine couldn't settle I used to say I'd stay in their room til they dropped off but no talking and I just read my book.

It won't last forever I promise!
