[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my family, sleep is more important than kindergarten sports. So we don’t do leagues with evening games on weeknights. Not worth it, and not the value I want to model. We value (1) emotional calm and (2) education, both of which require adequate sleep for my kids. [/quote] I mean... it's INSANE that you need to point this out, and that others need to argue FOR sleep! Some posters on here are crazy. This is how you shorten your kids' lifepans, people. Maybe you don't care. But that's what you're doing. [/quote] Relax. Some people have kids who don't wake up at the a$$-crack of dawn. My kid can get home from an activity at 7:30, bathe, have a snack, read a book, and do lights out by 9. And then sleep 10.5 hours, wake up at 7:30 am, and feel well rested. Unless you have a kid who needs 14 hours of sleep (in which case maybe speak to a doctor), there's no reason why a 9pm bedtime must mean sleep deprivation. Especially in the summer when it's light so late. Do you think 8 yr olds in Maine are going to bed at 7pm in July? They have daylight until 10pm there.[/quote]
