Sebastian is my six-year old and he says some of the funniest things–we have no idea where he gets his material since his mother and I are rather boring, serious people.
Seba:” Will I have time after dinner to play on the computer?”
My wife: “No, it’s a school night—you know the rule: no screen time.”
Seba: “Well, how about some free time?”
Tam: “No, don’t you remember what happened this morning? You were mean to everyone because you were so tired when I woke you up to go to school. So, I think that you should go to bed earlier so that you are not so grumpy in the morning.”
Seba: “Bad idea! I don’t want to go to bed earlier.”
Tam: “But you need more sleep.”
[Pause]
Seba: “Well, duh, just wake me up later!”
Tam: “That’s not possible, you have to get to school. I think you should go to bed 20 minutes earlier.”
Seba: “20 minutes?!? Pick another number!”
Tam: “OK, how about 15?”
[Pause]
Seba: “14!”
Tam: “OK, 14.”
[Pause]
Seba: “Can we start tonight?”
haha he sounds like a cool dude!

Ah, the never-ending bedtime battle… I see he is doing martial arts. That helped tremendously with my little guy – 3 or 4 times a week and he was actually tired enough to go to bed without too much discussion!

It does help some, but he seems to resist more the more tired he gets!

Your boy’s a real negotiator. I wouldn’t want to buy a used car from him. 🙂
