[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don't need your child to wake up at a set time, how late do you allow them to sleep in.  Would it depend on what time they went to bed?

I let them respect their body and sleep as long as they wish, unless there's a real and pressing reason.

I'm not a morning person myself, so [b]I can totally relate to not wanting to get up early. For some people it's torture. [/b]We tend to schedule things as late as possible in the morning for this reason.[/quote]

For us, it's not an issue of being a morning person, it's about developing and maintaining a healthy routine.  We keep regular hours.  We'll sometimes sleep in when we've an a big event the night before just like we sometimes have a lot of sweets/junk food.  It's the exception, not the rule.[/quote]

Poster you're quoting.

It is very much a question of not being morning people. No matter how early I go to bed, I still toss and turn till my body feels it's time to go to sleep. And if I have to get up late the next morning, it's very hard on me. Same for my kids. I don't see anything healthy in disrespecting our bodies' rhythms for the sake of a "healthy" routine.

Anyway, whatever floats your boat. You don't have to live my life, I don't have to live yours, and I'm very glad of the latter.[/quote]

*early, not late, obviously. Sorry for the mistake.[/quote]
