  • To a certain point it does, but you have to manage the kid. I think the best advice we got was “don’t tell the kid it’s time, tell the kid they got a minute then it’s time. Start a one minute hourglass. The kid will understand and mentally be ready.”

    This works wonderfully. “In one minute we’ll turn off tv and brush your teeth.” That’s it. You’re not taking his toy out of nowhere anymore, you made a pact with them and they know exactly what’s going to happen.

    Sometimes it doesn’t work; that’s because the kid is too tired or emotional. That’s still on the parent for not reading and managing the cues.
