With after school activities, we can't start bedtime until 7.45pm, they go upstairs, do teeth, hair, pyjamas and then they can read for 15 minutes. And fall asleep with a podcast on very low, usually 'dinner with the heelers'. I have a daughter and step daughter both aged 7, 3 months apart x
We're still on 7pm bedtime because I'm little one gets too dysregulated and needs one of us with her all through bedtime and it takes and hour for her to settle and sleep
Hi Lovely, my bedtime routine for the kids is 6:30pm jamas, 7:30pm.. Settling down time & then 8pm is bedtime..My little boy is nearly 8 & my lg is nearly 6months... I find that this works for us as a family x
