too tired
I say casually, Oh, nap time is soon, let's hurry and clean up so you can rest.
"I'm too tiiiired"
you can rest after we tidy up, everyone helps, etc.
If they really persist, I start to point things out
I see some blocks that need put back into the basket, who can get the trucks back on the shelf, etc?
If it continues with defiance I'll take them by the hand and walk around and actually point to stuff they need to pick up. I've even used their hand to pick it up, and carry it to the basket..
It's seems to show them it isn't an option. I disregard the excuses. I don't argue or punish, I just insist that they do it.
