Bedtime Spankings: Bent Over!

Product Information

You celebrate with a glass of wine and go to bed feeling encouraged that what you set out to do is going to change things for the better. If she wakes in the night go back in and sit in the same place after a very brief kiss and reminder that it’s time for sleep. In my experience, I’ve found that anything can "work" if you stick with it and refuse to give up or move onto something else.

I’ve found that we can use room sharing to our benefit by including a little flair of competition and/or teamwork mixed in, too!If he gets out once, close the door a bit, twice, a bit more and on the third attempt put up a baby gate or use a childproof door handle on his door so that he can’t come out. Honestly, it had only felt strange the first time; now it was just rather nice, and her bottom wasn’t the only thing warming up. This is an excerpt from the story “A Real Spanking” in my new book of short stories, Bedtime Spankings, by S. We haven't changed our bedtime routine, but now once he's in bed he's started getting up and popping back out - I need to go potty (when he just went), mommy cover me, I need a drink, or starts asking questions like 'how do I sleep?

I realize it’s been a long time since you posted this, but I want to respond in case there’s another parent out there with a similar question. I really hope you asked this just to have a discussion or something and not bc you want to spank your LO for not sleeping. For him, a very clear set of boundaries and a structure that puts the “monkey on his back” would have been the best avenue to remedy the issues you described. Bedtimes recently have been nightmarish - we try to stick to a routine but there is always a 50/50 chance it will devolve into mom and daughter yelling/crying at each other from 7:30-8:45 until they both pass out from exhaustion.A “burst” is when a recently sleep trained child gets a wild hair and starts testing his boundaries again. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

I want to make it a firm boundary but without getting him all worked up because that's just counterproductive when I want him to calm down and go to sleep; yet it seems any method we try either doesn't work or it makes him hysterical which can't be good right before sleep. This is a little bit more hardcore, but if he’s playing you it’s time to show him who’s really in charge!To hear more about Rosie and get exclusive access to offers and promos, make sure you sign up to receive updates about her work => bit.
