About this episode

The episode discusses strategies for managing bedtime negotiations with children.

Bedtime is meant to be the calm part of the day. So why does it suddenly involve one more book, one more cuddle, one more drink, the other teddy, the blanket fixed, and a very specific sock situation? In this Dear Wiggles, Simon, Lachy, John and Caterina answer a listener’s question about bedtime stalling: when to say yes, when to hold the line, and how to stop the whole routine turning into a nightly negotiation.   HOSTS Simon Pryce Lachy Gillespie GUESTS John Pearce Caterina Mete   PRODUCERS Produced by The Wiggles and Mylk Media Madeline Joannou Nick Webb To submit a question for the ‘Dear Wiggles’ segment, email us at podcast@thewiggles.com.au or head to thewiggles.com/podcast to send in a voice note.
