    how do i get my 4 year old to go to bed without screaming?

    I have been using the same method for years. I tell him 30 minutes before bed and then i tuck him in. Every night i have to chase him down and drag him to bed where i try to cover him up and everything and he kicks the covers off and screams sometimes for an hour or more. Its nerve wracking for me and we're about to have another baby so I can't have him screaming like that when i'm trying to keep a newborn sleeping.

    I would change your routine a bit to shock him firstly and then stick to it. This is what i do: toliet, teeth and Story book and bed. explain to him that you will read him a story if he dosent scream. If he dosent like books perhaps a felt puppet story. I let my 3 year old choose a book if she goes to the toliet and cleans her teeth without throwing a wobbly. It works really well she gets very upset if she misses out on a story. Or perhaps a rewards chart. If he goes to bed like a good boy then he gets a sticker on the chart after 5 stickers he can have a prize. You wont have to do it forever just until you break the habit.
