Back to School Bedtimes
| Thu, 08-23-2007 - 12:40pm |
The kids are going back to school next week and were starting back to school bedtimes (ugh!)....lol What time are your kids going to bed this year on school nights? What time are they going to bed on weekends (that is if yours has a bedtime on the weekend...lol). It seems like the summer break had just started!

I'm so glad you posted this! I was wanting to ask the same thing and came to this board (by the way, I am new to this board) and found this post - so thank you! My dd (who is 13.5 yo) is going into the 8th grade next week and I have moved her bedtime to 9:30 at night. However, prior to that, it's always been between 8 and 9 p.m. She gets up at 6 a.m. every morning for school and this year her school is beginning 10 minutes earlier than last year. On weekends she goes to bed pretty much whenever she wants, however, she knows that she has to get up early to help care for our animals.

Here's my brilliant idea: don't enforce a bedtime, but insist that they get up at the time they would normally need to to catch their bus. This is what I'll be trying starting on Monday. (They start school on Sept 4, so I have a week to succeed.
The setting a bedtime thing isn't working for us, so I hope my new tactic will be better at resetting everyone's body clock (mine included!) I'll let you all know....
My 11 yo seems to need 10 hrs a night & the 13 yo seems to need about
Summer did go by way to fast; hopefully fall will be a little slower :)

Hi June Marie! We have 4 Golden Retriever dogs and 8 new Golden Retriever Pups and a new 11 week old kitten. :) They are not hard to care for - just time consuming is all. The only inside animal we have is the kitten. The others stay in their kennels at night and are out during the day (during summer at least).
Hugs,
Trac~ :)
