so my DD age 11 is doing the can't get to sleep phase. Until now she's been asleep easily by 8pm but I wonder if this is too early.
Also what do you do with this age group of a weekday evening. I'm not used to her being around in the evenings and so she ends up mine crafting which adds to the problems.
Old routine was 5:30 I get home from work, do her supper. TV / computer off at 7. Bath, story, lights out 7:30, asleep by 8. Then DH gets home from work around 7:30 - 8 and it's supper, TV or chill out time.
Now she is around after 8. I feel my evening does not start until 9/10 and I'm cross and wound up.
Sorry bit of a rant. I need a new evening routine / pattern. What do you do?
