I'm babysitting my sister tonight?

Question

I have to babysit my sister tonight and that means I will have to put her to bed as well. She always gets out of her bed and it takes about an hour to get her to fall asleep. I really don't feel like putting up with it tonight so what do you suggest the schedule be from now until 8:30 and will also make her tired if possible. (Include taking a bath and she already had dinner) Thanks!!

Answer 1

well u can play games but also to help her get sleepy watch tv for about an hour before u put her to bed so she will be sleepy when she goes to bed

Answer 2

after you play with her, give her a bath then go for a 10 minute drive.

Answer 3

I'm not sure. I have never done babysitting before. I am the youngest in my family. I do not intend to have my own kids also.

Answer 4

take her outside n tire her out so she'll b tired l8ter on

Answer 5

Uhh, i'm not sure.

Play tag so she'll get tired easily?

Haha. :D

Or SOME kind of game that'll make her tired.

Answer 6

Take a long walk with her or a bike ride.

Answer 7

Try reading a book with the rule that when you are finished she has to stay in bed. Get her favorite blanket, doll. If you can sing, do that. But make your boundary's. Once in bed and the book is finished, she has to stay there.

Answer 8

I would play with her a lot and take her to a park or something. Then come home and take a bath and put her in pajamas. Then, have her watch some TV or a movie to help her relax and get somewhat tired. When going to bed, I would play some soothing music or turn on a fan.  

Answer 9

Maybe you can lay down with her until she falls asleep

Answer 10

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO don't let her watch T.V. I mean a Little is fine but it just makes them restless then they use it as a reason to stay up longer cuz something they like is come on next that just asking for it... U should play twister or any other physical games u can think of. Then if u played with her enough she'll fall asleep all by her self or by the time bedtime comes around she'll put up less of a fight cuz she's so tiered. Oh and don’t forget to give her a bath right before bedtime.

Answer 11

You could try the bath about and hour before you want her to go to bed then the whole hairb rush and teeth thing. Then try reading stories to her and use the same broing slow tone. It used to work wonders on my daughter.

Answer 12

let her watch tv..give her warm milk...listen boring music..play jump rope...

Answer 13

Give her some warm milk and put some chocolate in it. Let her watch her favorite cartoons or tv program. If she refuses then bribe her. I know from experience this definitley work. But bribe her of something simple like you'll get her ice cream or get her a toy. But repeat she has to go to sleep in order to get this. Make sure you to stick to your word or you'll never hear the end of it.
