I don't really watch your show. In fact, I think I can count on one hand the number of episodes I've seen. But, I do know your technique of how to get a toddler to stay in bed. No eye contact, just pick them up and put them in bed. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat.
My question to you is, after two and a half hours of this, what the hell? Obviously, something is amiss here, because I've spent the better part of my afternoon trying to put LB down for a nap. Just a few minutes ago, I surprised the sh!t out of him by finally yelling "Get in bed!" It seems your technique just wasn't working.
How long must I be patient and consistent and keep putting him in his bed? Because I'll tell you something, I'm not about to get up every few minutes for two and a half hours again. Naptime is the pretty much the only time I can get some stuff done, and wasting it on a toddler who only responds to me being mean by trying to be impersonal and persistant isn't in the cards.
So Supernanny, I hate to disappoint you, but you're not that super. Your ways may work for a lot of kids, but not mine. I feel stupid for having wasted time on the two episodes I've seen.
Sincerely,
Mom On The Edge
