What time does your 4year old go to bed?

My ds is 4.6, and normally goes up at 8pm. However, he always gets tied aroung 2pm, but never goes to sleep and he always wakes up between 7 and 8 (time he goes to bed makes no difference).

So, what time does your 4year old go to bed?

In bed now

He will be asleep within 15 mins, he does wake rather early though, 6 to 6.30, price we pay for quiet evenings

I'm trying to work out if it is worth putting him to bed at 7! It's been one of those days

by 7pm, up around 6.30, no naps

if you are going to put him to bed earlier I'd suggest doing it gradually or it won't work!

bed about 7.30
asleep between 8 and 8.30 (she likes to read,, play, chill, wander up there... go to the toilet etc... )

up between 6 and 7

would fall asleep for a nap in the car if out mid afternoon. she can get tired but have tried earlier bedtimes and it doesn't work. later bedtimes just mean she is more likely to have a sleep mid afternoon, resulting in later bedtime. never sleeps in!

we leave dd's room around 7.40pm - it used to be 7.30pm but we gave her 10 minutes extra for good behaviour - which we can take away if she is playing up. She wakes any time from 6.30am but normally around 7am unless she needs a pee earlier than that.

DS1 is 4.11 On school nights its bath at 6.40ish with DS2. DS2 to bed at 7pm then DS1 has a story and a chat before sleep at 7.15-7.30pm. Normally up around 7am.

ds2 is 4 and ds1 is 6 and they both go to bed at around 7pm. Once or twice a week it's probably nearer to 7.30pm but they're so knackered if it's later than that that I can sometimes get them to bed without complaint at 6.30pm

dotty I am with you...
yesterday I had just had enough so the boys went in the bath at 6pm and were in bed for 6.30 - DS1 only ever sleeps for 12 hours though so I paid for it next morning him waking an hour early
