Of all of the great words of WiSdOm given to me by parents with years of experience, the best AdviCe was this: Always give ultimatums that benefit YOU!
This advice is something I utilize numerous times a day. When my kiddo doesn’t want to take a nap I ask, “Do you want me to read some books before your nap oR do you want to go to bed without reading a book?” She always picks the books and without her realizing it, her reSisTanCe to nap is derailed.
Life is so much eAsieR with this method and I can’t imagine parenting without it. Hope it can make your life a little easier too!
HaPpY PaRenTinG!
