Chatty toddler at bed time

[ISeeDeadDandelions]

My 3yo has decided that once I come downstairs after bed time is the best time to chat. She's shouting down question after question, and I can't help answer. Should I just ignore her? Give her a warning? Tell her one and no more?

How do you deal with a talkative one at bed time??

Could you try a 3 question limit? Once they've asked their 3, that's it, no more questions till morning.
We spend ages teaching our kids to talk, then just as long trying to get them to shut up!

Ours likes to go through the day and chats away for half an hour. U stay with him as processing the day is important learning and he is just so cute doing it. It won't last long so I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Much better when you don't feel in a hurry to leave

My DD does that as I’m putting her to bed and I just say “we’ll talk about it in the morning”. She still continues doing it but it ends it more quickly. I feel a bit mean at times but I know it’s just a delaying tactic

My daughter used to get very chatty at bedtime; she would announce she needed to have 'words' with whoever was putting her to bed. We allowed her 3 'words' - (sometimes questions, sometimes observations). Anything else would have to wait until the next day. She took it all very seriously: 'my first word is this' and would then launch into whatever. It was quite entertaining, but years later she has no recollection of her 'words'.

We have a quick chat and then I tell him now is time for sleeping not talking, seems to work!

I've got a dd like this. Her new favourite word is serious At bedtime she will tell you to sit on her bed till she tells you a long made up story its serious apparently
Normally I will listen for 10mins then tell her I'll be back in a minute. Sometimes it works, she'll fall asleep or she'll be shouting down the stairs for me.

I must have shouted up (that sounds awful, don't know how else to put it) 4/5 times tonight that it was sleep time. Maybe I'll try a bit of extra time in her room tomorrow night and say she can tell me 2/3 things. I don't want to keep going back up to her unless really needed as that would become a new game to her, how many times can I get mum to come back upstairs.

Letting her tell me about her day (again) for 20 minutes or so sounds lovely, but we don't get home from work/nursery until 6, bedtime is 7, and we need to be up by 7am to do it all again tomorrow on the three days I work. I can't just let her chatter at me for ages as I need her to get enough sleep.

20 mins would be far too long anyway, we do one quick story or book, one line about what we did today and what he's doing tomorrow (montessori), audio lullaby story on and then no more talking, time for sleep. I sit in the room until he goes to sleep and if he starts chatting again I just remind him it's sleep time and he gets it. I'd def recommend just repeating that and not engaging with further chat.
