I agree about the Wii - getting a child's senses hyped up just before bedtime is not going to help at all with a calm bedtime routine.
While you want a gentle parenting approach, a six year can certainly have plenty of boundaries set for what is acceptable at certain times of the day. Set specific limits - 10 minutes of reading in bed before lights out (eg), then lights out. Mum/dad stays for (x) amount of time then it is time to go to sleep.....this is still gentle parenting in my idea of things.
