Help me please, before I lose my ever loving mind. Read full post!

@amayasasaki Going through this right now. Adjust her bedtime to 630 so that she's actually sleeping by 7-730. She will fall asleep faster if she's not overtired.

Also tell her your leaving the room to go do xyz . Example, I'll be right back to check on you, mommy has to go pee. Lay down and close your eyes ill be right back. And keep going back and checking and telling her you're doing things and she will get bored and fall asleep in the meantime. I read this trick on here and it works 50% of the time for us

@amayasasaki Tbh I don’t even try before 8:30 anymore…9 seems to be the new time

@amayasasaki No advice just solidarity. My 3.5 year old fell asleep at 9 last night and woke up at 5 am. A whole 8 hours just like a dang adult. Heck I like 9 hours. She doesn’t really nap either. Last one was a week ago. Whyyyy.

@amayasasaki Ignore the demands

@amayasasaki A visual schedule helped my daughter. Folded a piece of card stock in half long ways and cut strips along the top half. On the bottom half I wrote her routine one at a time so for us it was “snack”, “potty”, “bath”, “pajamas”, “brush teeth”, “read stories”, “turn off light”, “kiss goodnight”. On each flap and on the bottom half was Velcro so as she did each thing she would close the flap and the front would say something like “you did it!” “Great job!” Etc .. it helped her a lot to accomplish her routine
