[quote=Anonymous]I love sleepovers, but I enforce strict bedtime and also try tire them out beforehand with physical activity. They are in the basement rec room and I am in the basement bedroom. Far enough away so that I can’t hear what they’re saying, but close enough so they can’t sneak upstairs. I furnish water and non-sugary snacks. They can watch a movie and after that it’s lights off. They can still talk but they’re often too tired to talk for long. I usually plan another fun activity after breakfast before pickup, so that’s another incentive for them to follow my bedtime instructions. Of course, they’re only 9 so I doubt these tactics will work for long![/quote]
