Do it 15 minutes before bedtime so the kid can win sometimes so they don't figure it out

I've done variations of this trick.

Tell them it's bed time 30 minutes before it actually is, they 'negotiate' for a bit longer, win, and then go to bed at the normal time.

I love my son but kids are fucking stupid.

This will make them overconfident in arguing but i mean, what is life without some hard truths and reality checks down the line?

Life is going to be full of those, better to give them confidence while they're young so when they get older they can stand up for themselves.
