[quote=Anonymous]Can you manage an earlier bedtime? And ask daycare to stop naps for 4 year old? Those are the 2 biggest issues it sounds like. My kids didn’t nap past age 3 and as soon as naps stopped they’d reliably go to bed at 7. To answer your title question: it takes about 20-30 minutes (Maybe 40 minutes if they’re taking a bath, which we don’t do every night) to get my 5 year old to sleep including the whole bedtime routine. We start getting them ready for bed between 6:30-6:45, bath or wash up, brush & floss teeth and go potty, put on pajamas, read 1 book, sing 1 song while rubbing their back and then lights out and we leave.[/quote]
