When children delay bedtime to extend connection

Every bedtime takes two hours because my kids need water, bathroom, one more story, and I lose my patience but I know they're just trying to stretch time with me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The child's stalling behavior is actually a bid for more presence from a parent who has been unavailable all day.
