[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] +1 Kiddie sports games during weeknights? Only homeschoolers can pull that off because they can wake up at 9 every day. Nothing wrong with that, but that is not compatible with a traditional school schedule where you need to wake up much earlier. Young kids need sleep.[/quote] My kids’ elementary school starts at 9:00. They’re usually in bed by 8 and asleep by 8:30 and wake up on their own at 7:30. We could easily push bedtime to 9:00 and they could get the same amount of sleep and be plenty ready for school. If they went to bed at 7:30, they’d be up at 6:30 ready to go. I’d much prefer a 6:30 game than one at 4:00 where I have to take off work to be there. [/quote]
