Finding solutions

It was 8.30pm and Lauren was playing disney computer games. Still school hols, so Lauren gets to go to bed a little later (9pm).

I reminded her that it was time to stop computer games. She says yes. Grabs her new Club Med book, clips it under her armpit...and continues playing. 8.45pm, and I tell her bedtime - NOW.

She gets it. And starts whining that she needs to read her book. I tell her "tomorrow". She starts tearing and says..."Nooooo...".

Since it is school hols, I decide to push her limits and stick to my earlier instruction - nope. bedtime now. Read the book tomorrow, since you chose to play PC games instead of read.

More tears.

Finally, she looks at me and says, "I know. I can read this book at daycare tomorrow, ok Mom?".

Now, aren't I just so proud of Lauren!

Great job girlie!
