Apparently making her stop playing to get ready for bed (15 minutes past the normal time I might add) is worth loathing of the highest degree. Threenagers.

The false choice trick either works really well, or they clock it quickly and leave you for dust. Our minion caught on far too quickly.

Powering through the tantrums is sometimes all you can do. My record was about 30 minutes or so. By the end I was more wowed by their stamina than stressing. Once they realise that tantrums don't work well, they move on to other tactics (for better or for worse).
