Kids are master negotiators when it's time to tuck in and let Mummy and Daddy watch grown up TV. Netflix did a survey and found that the average kid stalls for over 19 minutes while parents try to get them into bed.

Here are their most popular wiley techniques!

  1. Time consuming negotiations.
  2. They will die if you do not immediately give them food or water. They are sooo thirsty!
  3. Absolutely flattering you. Shameless adoration may be my weak spot.
  4. Moving in slow motion, one...step...at...a...time.
  5. Tricking you into letting them stay up.
  6. Pretending that they didn't know it was time for bed.
  7. Getting naked in protest. I have never personally seen this one.
