What bedtime do you think is acceptable for a 5 year old? I have been putting dts to bed between 7.30-8pm but they are still bouncing about at 9pm. As a result they are tired and grumpy in the morning but just won't listen to me at all. (We get up about 7-7.30am.)
They have always been quite good at going to bed and straight to sleep, both are still in nappies at night with dts2 likely to stop sooner than dts1. I have tried going back to star charts, rewards, god I would bribe them just to get a break. Dh works shifts and I am a sahm so my day ends when they go to bed (all those who heard me say I looked forward to getting a break when they started school back in August can now laugh - I seem to be busier than ever!)
Any advice really appreciated as I am frazzled beyond all frazzle!
