How to Stop Bedtime Battles Without Yelling
Shownotes
#224 In this episode, Lisa shares her thoughts on bedtime battles. She covers why parents often lose their cool at night and what bedtime battles look like, navigating feelings of guilt when holding firm boundaries, managing requests for one more hug or book, her two-part approach to establishing an evening routine and keeping children in bed, and setting practical limits around comfort items like stuffies, alongside reflections on why letting children control bedtime can prolong the struggle.
Lastly, Lisa addresses seven listener questions, exploring building independence at bedtime with a 21-month-old, what to consider when a 20-month-old wakes up screaming, navigating patience with toddlers, and handling a 4-year-old and 6-year-old staying up after bedtime, before discussing toddler meltdowns around evening routines, what to do when a 2-year-old screams in the middle of the night, and responding to a 5-year-old who talks through bedtime stories.
