Right I wish I can put my kids to sleep early if I put my kids down to sleep early they'll be back up at 2am they usually get tired around 11pm with no naps during the day
I aim for 12 to 2 but sometimes its after that. If it's later he is so drained he cant say awake any longer so I am forced to allow him to sleep. But even naps from 12 to 2 he will still be up until 11. He's way too active
We just moved my sons bedtime back to 8. It was 7 but he’d wake up between 4:30-6. He is a solid hour napper too. His bedtime was 7 since he was 7 months old.
Mine go to bed at 6pm, but we have had the same bedtime routine since they were both 6 months old. I try to keep them busy during the day too so that by 6pm, they literally reach for their beds. I wish I had a trick to offer, but I really think it’s just consistency and the routine we established. I was strict about bedtimes early on because I work from home, and I need the evenings to get things done and to save a little sanity.
5 soon to be 6 year old over here. He goes to bed about 7:30. Sometimes earlier in the winter months and no later than 8 in the Summer when it's super light out. We started him out doing this when he was a baby, so hes just used to it now.
