For the Child Who Needs Water Four Times a Night

Four lines you can say out loud tonight. Word for word. Free to save.

For the Child Who Needs Water Four Times a Night — 4 scripts

What to say

  1. Water is one cup at bedtime. After that the kitchen tap is closed until morning.

  2. Your throat goes dry the second the light is off, and that feeling is real.

  3. The cup is on your nightstand, filled at eight, before I leave the room.

  4. If it’s empty at nine, you bring it to me and I fill it once more.

When to use it

This is for the moment it actually goes wrong — not the calm version you rehearse in the car. Pick one line. Say it once. Then stop talking and wait three seconds. If they push back, repeat the same line, not a new one. Say the same thing for five nights before you decide it doesn't work.
