Dear Forumites.. I am struggling! My 2.5 year old is driving me mad at bedtime! There have been a fair amount of changes in her life in the last few months (new house, bed instead of cot and finding out that I am pregnant with number 2 and temporarily moving in with in-laws while we get some works done in the new place!). Still, the routine hasn't changed (other than reducing or droppoing nap depending on day). She screams she doesnt want a bath, then screams she doesnt want to come out. She screams if I try and read a book, then screams if I dont... Her father isnt allowed to do bedtime, according to her, so its all on me. She then either screams, grizzles or plays, but will not settle, however calm and understanding I am (which is less so in the last few days, as I am knachered!). I dont know how to deal with her at the moment. Any suggestions?! Treats dont seem to work at the moment.
