I often sit in my kids room in a chair reading, waiting for them to fall asleep. If I put them to bed at the same time, they laugh, joke, act silly, and keep each other awake. The bedtime routine sometimes takes HOURS! I collapse afterwards.

How do you get your kids to stop snickering and making noises? The big ones start the little ones going and then it’s hard to get the little ones to stop! Is there any way to get them in bed at the same time and keep them quiet without threats or constant rewards?

My little one will also continuously run out of bed, laughing, thinking he’s being cute (which of course he is, ba’h, but the cuteness wears off after multiple times of non-compliance!
