I think it's a great idea. I'd give it a week and if you don't see a real reduction in complaining, go to the dreaded EARLIER BEDTIME. That's what I do with my 7yo. Hers is in relation to yelling at her sister. But with yours, for every complaing, you could shave 5 minutes off her bedtime (or maybe 3 minutes or 2 minutes if you still have upwards of 20). I think earlier bedtime works wonders for this age group. It's like going to jail. Keep me posted! Missy Did you just start? I think it’s a great idea.
