Bedtime for a nearly 8 year old.

Hit me with your bedtime routines for a 7 (8 next month) year old girl.

She's been home school since November as she's on the clinically vulnerable list. She's been going to bed about half 8/9 pm and waking about 9/9:30 am. This has been fine while at home and we've worked under our own steam.

But tomorrow she goes back to school. She needs to be out the house by 8 am! I have tried getting her back in to going to bed earlier the last few days with no luck.

Her routine is currently:
• Wash and ready for bed about 7.
• Story at half 7
• Reads in her bed for twenty minutes.
• then lights out.

It will all be a different story tomorrow when she comes home shattered. You'll probably be able to get her to bed earlier without much argument, depending on what she's like. It seems like she's been getting 12 hours sleep during homeschooling and I guess that probably suits her, I would just shift the bedtime routine forward to try to get close to the 12 hour mark at first and see how she goes?
