My husband's and my 3 year old niece is living with us now and
everytime we put her to bed she screams and hollors that she doesn't
want to go to bed. We started reading her books and read until she
fell asleep which sometimes went for 1/2 hour. Then we started just
backing off and finally dwindled it down to two books before bedtime.
Now she continues to scream and holler. Because she doesn't want to go
to bed. Her bedtime is 8:00 p.m. everynight. Her bio mother did not
have a routine bedtime so that is what we are trying to establish. I
know it takes time to get it to work, but we have had her for 3 weeks
and she still screams and hollors. What other suggestions do you have?
