I've worked with many parents and children caught up
in power struggles
in the home — they argued over
bedtime, homework, curfew, video game time — you name it, they fought over it.
Telling that he is a big boy now and that he'll get a new bed, blanket or whatever and that big boys sleep at night, so now he will too, and help him dicover how nice it is to be
in bed, reading a
bedtime story or listening to a lullaby can slowly get you away from the
power struggles.
In real life testing the phone gamely marched along, retaining
power reserves after
bedtime even after we'd streamed YouTube videos and navigated using Maps — two of the most resource - taxing activities you can do on a phone.
