[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bedtime should be 7-7:30. [/quote]
That's fine in the winter but during the summer when it's full daylight that would be far too early.[/quote]
Disagree. If the kid needs to be up at 615 they need to be in bed early.[b] They can use room darkening blinds or something[/b]. 
At 8yo my kid was asleep by 8 awake around 7. So i would aim to have lights out by 730 if waking at 615. [/quote]
That's not the point at all, Kids don't get nearly enough time to be kids these days, When i was a kid we were outside playing until sunset and we still got up at 6:00am with no issues.[/quote]

We had early bedtimes growing up in the 80s. I can still picture my dad's booming voice in the neighborhood yelling for me to come home for dinner or bed. We had lots of time to play and run around - and we still went to bed at 7pm the first few years of elementary school. Kids didn't so many organized activities like they do now at those ages.
