We used to do a lot of choices to ease transitions (“do you want to brush your teeth first or get on pajamas”) but currently she’s in a “none of them” phase. Sometimes we can get her with a “special toy to play with when you wake up tomorrow” (or to take in the car or whatever) but a lot of times there’s no winning and we just grit our teeth and trudge through the routine.

We get a lot of “that’s not my favorite” and “I’m not playing with you because you’re not nice to me”.

Outside of the moment she’s really good at expressing everything “I was frustrated when I was all done because I wanted to play more” and we have a good conversation about it. We’re just working on appropriate reactions in the moment.
