Struggle getting your kids to listen when it's time to get ready for bed?
We hear you! It’s been a near-nightly struggle for us over the past 12 years with our four kids.
So… our big tip… LEVERAGE PLAY.
Transforming the bedtime routine into a fun and engaging experience will capture our kids' interest, but more importantly, their cooperation.
As a quick example… our toddler loves to pretend that he’s Spider-Man. Climbing the stool to brush his teeth becomes an adventure of scaling a building, or when we move from the bathroom to the bedroom, we have a thrilling web-slinging ride.
If you’re having a hard time tapping into play, let your kids lead! They are the ultimate play gurus, and by letting them take the lead, it just increases their investment in the whole process.
Let’s try to let go of our adult inhibitions surrounding play and join in on the fun! Our kids want to play with us, and we can use the bedtime routine as an opportunity to have some fun together.
