Apparently making her stop playing to get ready for bed (15 minutes past the normal time I might add) is worth loathing of the highest degree. Threenagers.

We reduced the complaining on bedtime and lots of other requests by using timers: "Here is a 5 min timer, when it rings, it's time to get ready for bed..."

    We’re about 50-50 with the timer. Sometimes she accepts it and sometimes we still get meltdowns. She’s going through a phase of transitions and routines being hard. The last two weeks with the holidays and family visiting and no school haven’t helped.
