[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The carpool could actually be making it harder. If you were up early every day you will adjust better than if you only have to get up early a few times a week [/quote]

I sort of feel the carpool is making it harder. I would rather have a consistent morning routine everyday.

Thanks for the advice.

For the other parent … my other kid is 7, she has adhd. By being very religious with her sleep schedule, her mood has improved tremendously. I get back home after morning practice around 6:30 am. I then get ready to go to work and my son goes to school. My hubs takes care of our daughter in the mornings and I can hang out with her after i get home from work a little after 4.

Morning swim has freed up afternoon time, which I spend it with my daughter now while son studies or does homework. It has been really good for us. [/quote]

NP - I’m confused.  It’s been really good for you (which I believe, from what you said), but still an issue?  How long have you had this change in schedule?

Having an early schedule daily or at least weekdays will make the adjustment easier, though if you’re not a morning person, it will never truly feel natural.  I say this as a die-hard morning person, who for years woke anywhere from 3:45am to 5am for rowing - if I tried to become a night owl, it would be horrific.

8pm bedtime for a 7 year old, especially one with ADHD, sounds great, actually, so ignore the naysayers on that front.  Can you work out during your older kid’s morning practices?  Or do something else productive?[/quote]
