We Did It!

After about 8 days of working hard at changing behavior during the nighttime routine, we did it! We got through without even a hint of a meltdown. No frustration, no escape tactics, no emotional disregulation. Just a ‘typical’ nightime routine.

Tomorrow is another day and I know we have more work to do but we’ve made progress.

If the baths on time
I can tuck him in by nine
Kiss my wife goodnight and write my blog . . .

OK. There will be no more quoting 30 year old songs by Bachman Turner Overdrive (And don’t even get me started on Village People.)

    Congratulations! That is excellent! A no meltdown evening is a great accomplishment. And once it’s in place, it’s not as hard to maintain. . .
