Its not just the few minutes that we are needing, the technique sets up a structure for the rest of the evening. Previously they would get all hyped up when daddy came home and it could take a LONG time to reign that all in and get back in control, sometimes the transition of daddy coming home would send the kids into a rowdy excitement that lasted till bedtime. I realize this isn't for everyone but I posted to those that might find it helpful. Its not really a debate on should I or should I not do it....its more of I am doing it and it works and might work for someone else.
