10 year old boy will not say Goodnight.

[SoniaMum]

We have always had a good bedtime routine for our son. We still read for him and put him to bed. He also still insists one of us stay to watch him fall asleep. However by this time we are tired and by the time we cook and eat supper it us usually 10pm. We try to break the routine but it ends in tears. Can you offer help?

Not sure it's a good bedtime routine if at 10 years old there area tears when you leave him to make dinner.

What do you want to change? What are you willing to do?
