[quote=Anonymous]To the pp who has her kids in bed by 7:15 for the youngest and 8:30 for the elementary kids: that is great. That is what I did as well with our kids growing up. They were all in bed between 7:30-8:00 and then they read for a while. Lights out by 8:30 ish. They all becsme avid readers. They had to wake up at 7:15 am for school, but they were well rested. They loved school--all of them--- and had plenty of stamina for it because they were well rested. We were able to do this through junior high, then they had to stay up later for school work in high school. I think so many, many behavioral and academic problems that kids have are exacerbated by being chronically tired. (not all of them, but many) You can't be joyful if you are tired. It is hard to pay attention if you are tired. It is easy to get involved in spats at school if you are tired and cranky, etc. [/quote]
