i always read to my son at bedtime.... he's a massive Thomas tank fan at the moment....
We always have 5 books to start with.... if he misbehaves or not done some thing he has been asked to do i take a book of him, so its in his interest to be good and do as he is told 😉 seems to work.
I also do made up storys where he is the main person and his friends/auties/uncles/grandma's/grandads are in it 😉
That's a brilliant idea for managing behaviour - he doesn't lose the treat altogether, just the choice available.
When my grandson stays over with me a bedtime story is compulsory!!. Like you joe11 I love to "ad lib" and make up stories that incorporate stuff that is relevant to him, or involves something he has a particular interest in. The main character is always him and he has a side kick called Cheeky Monkey who gets up to allsorts of mischief! 🙂
