I am at my wit's end with our toddlers bed time routine. She is a wonderful girl but she is incredibly strong willed and a lot of things have felt like a battle since she was born, including sleep. She is generally very uncooperative at the moment and she's very clever and is not easily persuaded with choices etc. Bedtimes have become hell for us and her. She is furious at the prospect of bedtime and screams with rage and upset for up to an hour. Nothing I do works, not staying, staying etc. She gets plenty of choice re jammies, books etc but struggles terribly with accepting the separation at bedtime. Please help. I am 15 weeks pregnant and feel so alone. She has also nearly completely rejected my husband so I am doing the lion's share of practical child rearing. None of my friends seem to have a child who is so strong willed and I know longer know where to turn.
