[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This isn’t what you asked, but my kids are now teens and I look back with regret about how rigid I was with naps and bedtimes for so long. Yes, mine might have been cranky and difficult the next day. No, they would never sleep in. But on balance, I think we should have done more of the “living” and events because those are ultimately where the memories are made. Especially because even a kid who got an early bedtime might be cranky or difficult for another reason the next day. Do all the fun things! This is the time! You can’t go back! [/quote] As a counterpoint, I have three children who rarely miss bedtime and we have not *once* regretted avoiding crankiness for an extra hour (during which they were getting tired and cranky anyway)! :)[/quote]
