[quote=Anonymous]We do our dinners at 4PM for practices from 5-8 most days of the week (different kids on different nights). My kids get ready for bed as soon as they get home (shower, pack bags and read), so dinner after would be way too late. My middle schooler gets up at 6, so she tries to get in bed by 9. When one kid had sprinting practices at 4:30, he only ate a little of his dinner before, but then ate the rest when he got home, since it was a short practice. For all other sports (soccer, gymnastics, dance, swim, basketball) the kids don't have issues going from dinner to practice within the hour. I think their bodies adjust, but I'd rather them have a small snack at 8 if needed than a whole dinner.[/quote]
