Just wondering - bedtimes for DSC are 7.30PM for 6yo, 8PM for 9yo and 9PM for 11yo. Do you think these times are too early?

Mine are 6 months, 3.5 yrs and 5 yrs and they are all usually in bed before 7pm. Baby usually goes up first, then girls can have their story. They are all so tired at the end of the day I can't see their bedtime getting any later for a few years yet. (I hope!) I think your bedtimes sound fine for the ages of your children, but I guess all children are different. I don't think I'd want mine staying up any later at that age.

DS is 8, and has to have his lights out by 8.30, and wakes up at 6.45 for school.

DD is 6, and has lights out at 8pm. Up at same time as DS.

Depends what time they are up, but your times seem reasonable.

21mo - around 7.15/7.45pm. Up around 6.30pm.
5yo - I leave by 8pm, sometimes he stays up for a while in his room, although not much since he started school. Up around 7am.

My DD (4) goes to bed at 6.30 and is up around 7.

Mine are shocking. They all go to bed about 9 p.m. but quite often one or two of them are still awake at 10 p.m.! They are 8, 6 and 3.

3 and 4 yr old go at 7 or before if they are tired/i have had enough of them!
8 and 10 yr old bed by 8.30 then read for 15-20 mins before lights out.

by 7pm for DTs, nearly 4 - earlier if they're tired, rarely later (always counter productive if we try it!)

both at 7pm, though since the clocks have changed, dd doesn't always make it to 7pm!

ds is 4.5
dd is 13 months

Dd(4) by 8, earlier if she hasn't had a nap in the day. Up between 7 and 8.
