Hello!
So I've a lovely 6yo who simply doesn't want to go to bed at night. We try to start our bedtime routine at around 7pm but this can take an hour with all the dilly dallying. Then she stays up either reading and writing in bed, or more recently, she's started running around upstairs and playing a game by coming downstairs without us realising and scurrying around. There are 2 problems:
- Shes really tired in the mornings and cries/lashes out when trying to get her ready for school.
- She has a 4yo sister who she brings along for the ride, she has to sleep too! 4yo doesn't react the same in the mornings though but hey we're all different.
We try to keep the kids active and they have a club a night Mon-Thurs, so we think 6yo should be tired by the time its what we consider bedtime.
Would love any pointers/advice/views jnto the future that it will work itself out?
