Guerilla Tactics for Getting Our Daughter to Bed

Our four year-old, A., did not want to go to sleep tonight - cranky and overtired. So rather than fight her (with the scolding and the whining and the tears) we said "OK".


  1. I told her she could stay downstairs if she laid down on the couch.
  2. I turned off the lights.
  3. I lit a candle.
  4. I lit a stick of sandalwood incense.
  5. I put Miles Davis on the stereo.

She lasted all of 3 minutes.

Good night, sleepyhead, I love you.
