We just started a token system, where she earns tokens
by sleeping in or doing
quiet time / naps on weekends, and those tokens can be redeemed for pushing
bedtime back 20 - 30 minutes on non-school nights.
Those who favor a no - tears approach believe that
bedtime offers an opportunity to connect with your child
by developing
quiet, cozy nighttime rituals and
by quickly responding to your baby's requests for food and comfort.
