[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a lot more difficult when it is only 1-2 days a week because you don't get into a routine of naturally going to bed earlier.

My son will be swimming at 4:30 am in a few weeks. We are hoping he will get at least 9 hours of sleep. In bed by 7pm and up at 4:15am.

I am sure I will also be in bed by 8:)

I’m sorry, but someone needs to say it.

This is child abuse.

Pure and simple. [/quote]

And what if the child chose this? It was 100% my child’s choice to switch to morning practice this coming year.

Our swim club has hundreds of kids who swim in the morning. My kid could have done afternoon but he wanted to do mornings. 
He is a kid who will put himself to bed early when he is tired and none of us ever go to bed late. He will still get enough sleep just shifting it earlier.

So many kids who don’t do morning sports don’t get enough sleep. How many kids do you know whose parents let time go to bed whenever they want. We have friends whose middle school kids go to be at 10 or 11 and need to be up at 6am. Is this also abuse?[/quote]

You're. The. Adult. [/quote]

Correct and I know my family and child better than you do. My kid is capable of doing morning practice and still getting more than enough (9+ hours) sleep.

Life is not one size fits all. [/quote]
