DS is 6 and unlike my older DS(10) seems to get creative bursts at night. I send them both to bed at 7/7.30pm and whilst DS1 will read for half an hour and then sleep DS2 will read, colour in, make something, write a story, change pyjamas, come in and out to my room to ask a question, do a jigsaw play with toys. Before finally getting into bed and go to sleep around 10ish and often later. He can be difficult to wake in the morning at 8am and so I insist on the 7/7.30 bedtime but without fail he never goes to sleep then. I dont want to be shouting at him at bedtime, its a horrible way to go off to sleep having been shouted at but i dont know if its ok to just let him carry on with this pattern.
