[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She shouldn't have an ipad in her room.

Both of you seem really checked out. Why isn't either one of you involved with her? I don't think I'm infantilizing my kids, but I'm still reading to them at night. 8 is when they can understand better books! After that, I stand there while they brush their teeth and then I tuck them in. Are you all just expecting her to put herself to bed and barking "lights out" at her? :([/quote]

Different kids have different needs. I was still reading to my son at 8 but that stopped sometime around 9. He was not interested in being read to any more and wanted to read solo. Maybe the child doesn’t want to be read to any more.

DS has a bedtime that we enforce but I get that he needs some downtime when he gets home from an activity right about his bed time. It is not as easy as saying “Go to bed” right when he gets home. He needs some time to settle down after ana ctivity. We don’t let him use his iPad but read a bit or talk to one of us, sure. [/quote]
