Bedtime battles: How to nip them in the bud
If you're like most parents, you're all too familiar with this scenario: You put your 2-year-old to bed at 8 at night, hugging and kissing him and wishing him sweet dreams. It's been a long day, but still the dinner dishes await, you have bills to pay, the dog needs to be walked and the cat fed, and you haven't had a spare moment to put your feet up. But instead of spending the rest of the evening catching up on your chores and clocking some precious time with your partner, you're in and out of your child's room, cajoling him to sleep. He finally nods off — about three hours after he first went to bed.
It is no wonder that SuperNanny is so popular.
