[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to decide on a routine and times and do it consistently EVERY SINGLE DAY. Wake the 3 year old up afte 45 min max nap.

I have a 2 and 5 year old who I let sleep in til whenever in the morning so normally its around 8am, and I need to start bedtime routine at 7:30, in bed, lights off, books read, end of routine at 8:30 at the absolute latest. If it does beyond that they get too tired and upset and it drags out.[/quote]

This is so hard for us. Can I ask about our obstacles?
-dh gets home from work 6-45-7:15
-issues with keeping bedtime on track, discipline potentially. Especially 5yo does things to keep up the 9yo that we have to address
-I volunteer one night per week, just makes our routine slightly diff
-admittedly, I am boring and could eat the same lunch everyday;) but DH has issues with 100% daily routines.

We keep a fairly good routine but like to end it for “we just got this new chapter book and want to do TWO more short chapter.” “Ok! Snuggle up and let’s read just a little more.”[/quote]
