Cleanup

For the Bedtime Floor Full of Toys

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

For the Bedtime Floor Full of Toys — 4 scripts

What to say

  1. It is bedtime, so tonight cleanup means a path and a bed, nothing more.

  2. Cleaning a whole room at this hour is not realistic for anyone.

  3. Six toys go in the basket by the door. The rest wait until tomorrow.

  4. You get in bed and I read. Tomorrow we do the basket together.

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.
