My kids are 6 and 7 and both in school of course. On school nights, we try to have them in bed no later than 8:30. On weekends (Friday and Saturday night), we allow them to stay up later, like 9:30 or 10:00.

They have to get up for school by 6:10, so we try to get them to bed as early as possible while still getting all things done in the evening.

Becca goes to bed anywhere between 7:30 pm and 8:00 – depending on how tired she is. I usually try for closer to 7:30, but with evening activities and such there are times that it’s more like 8pm.

Abby and Hannah can tell time now, so no more ‘fudging’ bedtime with them… They get pajamas on at 7:15, then have a snack and brush their teeth. Then they’re free to read (in Abby’s room since Hannah shares a room with Becca) until lights out at 8:15. This is working out pretty well at the moment and there’s not much arguing since they can tell for themselves when 8:15 comes. It’s hard to argue with the clock.

OK- I’ll admit it. It’s usually after 9 before the little 2yo goes to bed. But he’s IN bed around 8:30. We don’t get home from work/daycare until nearly 6pm, so even with the late bedtime, I have precious few hours with him during the week. And, he’s usually up by 7:00 but I let him sleep as late as 8:00 if he doesn’t wake up on his own.

I’m MEAN. Both mine are in bed at 8pm….they can read or whatever as long as they are in there.

It’s not unusual for them to still be awake come 9-10pm…but they know they are supposed to be in their beds. They are 11 and 9. I relax it a little on some nights – and on weekends they can watch a movie in their rooms so that adds on a couple hours.

They get up at 7am.

My girls are 4 1/2 and 2. They’re in bed with the whole routine finished by 8 – 8:15. And Goosey has a clock in her room where she’s not allowed to get out of bed until it says “7” in the morning. She still naps too, about an hour and a half in the afternoon. Lulu naps for 2-3 hours. Yes, I’m blessed with good sleepers!
