How To Get Your Child To Stop Playing and Come to Bed
A conversation guide
Hey, Parent!
This conversation guide will make you deal with less resistance at bedtime. I wrote it to help you engage with your child’s world, validate their feelings, and gently guide them to bed using positive reinforcements. I also included a subtle lesson all parents want to teach their kiddos — compromising.
It’s meant as a guide, not as a script. So, make sure to look for the lines that explain the Psychology, Purpose & Intended effect of each phrase the parent says.
Once you understand these three, you’ll be able to adapt your dialogues as per your child’s preferences and level of understanding.

👉As they’re deeply immersed in a world of play and discovery, essential for their growth and learning, it’s not easy for them to just “switch off” from these captivating activities.
