what time do you put your young un's to bed?
14 Answers
Our children (7 and 5 yr old) usually go to bed between 730 and 800,
We have the same bedtime routine every evening. Bath at about 6-630 then we have quiet time where we either read a book or watch some tv (depending on whats on) the we go up to bed have a bedtime story then lights out and sleep, they usually go off quite quickly, probibly asleep by 815 at the very latest.
But our 7 yr old is waking up at 530 every morning and not going back to sleep!
so when she comes home from school she is absolutly whacked out and in a foul mood!
do you think she's going to bed to early?

could be neighbours waking, cars starting, loo trips, anything waking her.
Mine are 22 months and 4 years and they go to bed at 7.30. They can be awake in their beds any time up to 10pm though.
Stick with the time you have but try and encourage her to stay in bed when she wakes, she may nod off again.

I have 6yr old twins and they go to bed with pretty much your routine.
No fuss, no arguments they just go off like a light.
Daughter is an early riser at the crack of dawn and we have now managed to train her not to wake us up. She has quiet play in her room and only wakes either us or her brother if the time is getting on. OR she has had an amazing thought....
The only thing I can think of is put them to bed half an hour earlier for a week and an hour later the week after and see if that helps.

Nothing wrong with the routine as such, but is she getting enough exercise to tire her physically? My two probably went a little bit later at age 7, but that is mainly because they go to a lot of evening activities and some dont finish til 8 or half 8. So 4 nights out of 5 during the week, they weren't (and still aren't) home and in bed til 9 with reading time and lights out at 9.30 - They usually sleep until between 7 and 7.45. They are now 8 and 9 but have done this for the last few years.
My children go to bed 7ish and they wake 5am -6am ,and they are tired when they come in from school.its a viscous circle,but i do what someone else mentioned do lots of evening activities swimming gym or play parks or indoor playcentres ,still put them to bed the same time but they get tired and sleep alittle later.it will be easier now the evenings are getting lighter.im so used to 5am start the other day we went swimming and they woke at 6am !!!my hubby and i were celebrating a lie in!!
