To ask for a new bedtime routine

Kids are 8 and 10. With the summer evenings they’re staying up increasingly late.

We still read to them every night, we enjoy it, they enjoy it. But they’re not sleepy now until 9ish, by which point I’m knackered and could easily go to sleep myself. It’s only 7pm now, they’ve already showered and had dinner. We’ve got two more hours before they’re going to be going to sleep.

im not sure what we do. Sometimes we play games, sometimes they’ll play in the garden a bit later. But there’s still time to kill. Please help!!

Evening walk after dinner?

Park, swim, walk.

We do often go for a walk. Park is probably a good idea too although our closest is a bit of a walk away.
