We have a routine, As soon as I mention, bath or bed he starts screaming no no no. I carry him up the stairs without saying a word while he is screaming and kicking (very tiring) once in the bathtub he plays and is happy until I start saying, "All Done?" He starts screaming again! I take him out without saying a word wrap him in his towel and brush his teeth, he calms down until I pick him up and head to his room. I lay on his bed with a book, not saying anything except, "Do you want a book?" When he calms down, I read. We give hugs and kisses and I turn off the lights and shut the door. As soon as I say, "The End. Can I have a kiss?" he starts screaming! He comes out of his room 2 - 8 times after that and we pick him up without a word and put him back in bed. The only other thing I can think of is punishing him, but he's two. During the day we use time out, in this situation it would be a reward to sit in time out instead of laying in his room! Help!
