She did it consecutively and I had to give in to giving her bread as a meal!! That's what she wanted.

I tried getting my 2 1/2 year old daughter doing things using the 'because' tactic. It worked quite a few times but when it came to food, it didn't. And it was food which she usually eats. She kept saying 'no' in a determined way. What can I do? She ended up eating bread after having prepared her lunch and dinner. I couldn't leave her without food for 2 days, obviously.

We have a great bedtime routing with bath, jammies, and books for our 3 year old and 5 year old. There are no arguments - it works well to get them up to bed and in bed particularly since they love books so much, the promise of a story is very motivating. But then . . . the getting out of bed starts. Sometimes they want a glass of water, or another hug and kiss, or another blankie, but it's usually running around one another's bedrooms, up and down the hall, playing with toys, going thru drawers, etc! Frustrating! Suggestions? I have a similar problem as the person with “Round 2″. We have a great bedtime routing with bath, jammies, and books for our 3 year old and 5 year old.

She is always the big kid at daycare (she's 4) so sometimes at home she wants to pretend shes a baby. When its time for bed I will ask her if she wants to be my baby and I will carry her to her bed and talk really softly, all the time calling her "baby." I tell her what a cute baby she is and what a good baby she is. I will turn on her baby music which is a cd of lullibyes. This seems to put her in a great frame of mind for bedtime. She is very quiet and calm during this game so it works great to get her settled. Definetly easier than fighting. And it only takes 4-5 minutes of my time to have a much more peaceful night.

Many a times I have faced similar situations with my 3 year old daughter...and i agree that just playing along and trying to divert them with something else is a better way of getting things done rather than demanding an immediate compliance...Super article..keep it coming! :-) This is so true, Chris!
