Parents, ever feel like you're in a bedtime standoff with your older kids like Hortence? It's a common scenario, but I've got a tailored solution just for you – the "3, 2, Thank You!" technique, customized for older children. Here's the deal: When it's time to return to bed and they're resisting, kindly remind them, "Hey, it's time to head back and brush teeth. Let's go." If they still hesitate, initiate a countdown – "We need to start walking back to bed, or bedtime shifts earlier tomorrow." This empowers them to make a choice and respect your guidance. Give the adapted "3, 2, Thank You!" technique a try. It's your secret weapon for a smoother evening routine. Keep up with Hortence's adventures by following @ParentingwithPsychology! *********** @parentingwithpsychology https://lnkd.in/eg7qbGVn #ParentingTips #BedtimeRoutine #parentingskills #parenthood #parentinghacks #parentinggoals #intentionalparenting #momblogger #momsofinstagram #realmomlife #parentingwithpsychology #positiveparenting #parentinglife
