The aims of the study are: (a) to reduce noncompliance at bedtime, (b) to reduce the time it takes the child to go to bed after being instructed to do so, and (c) to study the interactions taking place.
The child must:
- Be 4 to 7 years old
- Exhibit bedtime refusal behaviors at least 4 days in a typical week
- Not be diagnosed with any psychological or medical disorders
- Not be diagnosed with any developmental delays
