My daughter hates brushing her teeth & it takes about 35 minutes every night, just getting her to brush. Then we read her a book (take turns every night) & chat. Then when we get up to leave she says, “If you leave I’m going to follow you”. So that’s really hard. Her counciler says to just keep putting her back in bed, but with a hurt shoulder & carpal tunnel, I don’t think I will be doing that. We try to start getting ready for bed earlier, but she still ends up going to bed at 9:15-9:30. Mom’s & Dad’s defintely need some alone time.

I remember being young and so high strung going to sleep at night, & I’m a boy lol. One thing mom started doing for me was giving me milk and as is what we always hear it has a calming effect and I was not allowed any sugar for hours before bed. Perhaps Sugar free cookies & milk will get them to unwind a bit.

Heres an article I am not sure it will do much but perhaps theres something in there that will help – http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/family-nutrition/foods-sleep/foods-help-you-sleep

I feel for you. Moms need time too!!

Take care
