DS is 10 and year 6

He is in bed by 7.30pm

and then he reads until he falls asleep

Apart from Mondays when he is at Fencing Club and so gets home about 8.30 and so is in bed by 9pm

Dd 2 (8) goes to bed at 8, but doesnt get to sleep until 8.30(story reading chatting with me . Am i boring her to sleep?) Dd1(12) goes at the same time and complains about it , but she does have to get up early in the morning (6.30) for the school bus (at 7,50).

Miaou · 09/01/2006 16:37

Yes, getting up time is relevant. My two aren't up until about 8ish I think (I'm still asleep then so I don't know for definite )

pumpkin7 · 12/01/2006 15:49

My 8yr old goes to bed between 7.30-8.00. it depends if he wants to read in bed or not. Sometimes he tries to grab a few extra minutes by calling out etc but he's learning the hard way at the moment-the longer he takes to settle the earlier he goes to bed the next day.Its working well as he hates going to bed b4 his 2yr old brother.
