Has it changed for your children now the lighter nights are here? My 10 y.o has a shower around 8, 8.30 then reads until 9 p.m then it's lights out. My 7 y.o has a bath around 7.30 then has a story. His lights out time is around 8, 8.15. I ask as lots of other children seem to be up much later around where I live. Am I mean Mummy? Can any of you with 7 or 10 year olds tell me when yours go to bed - thanks.

My 9 yo DS goes up at 7pm for a shower, then we do some autism-related stuff together for half an hour, then he reads till lights out at 8pm. Usually he goes straight to sleep but sometimes he lies awake a while. I know this seems early compared to some children of his age, but he has to be up at 7am for school so he needs the sleep.
