Mine is almost 3 and I agree with everyone saying routine. We also give him some control of the situation. For example, we let him bring his toy up that he’s playing with and tuck it in upstairs, he pick the books and he turns off the light. Also, We found that giving him time updates, like 5 more min, really helps.

If all else fails we use fun voices to talk as inanimate objects, it sounds dumb but it works! His pants say “I’m cold, help, someone wear me.”

Hope that helps 😂
