[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read all the replies, but I have two kids two years apart and often have to put them to bed solo in the evenings while my husband is traveling for work. It is helpful to get them on the same rough routine/ bedtime and keep it as simple as possible. At 2 & 4 their routine was: Dinner together, bath together, one kid dresses in pajamas while the other has his teeth brushed, and then switch. They take turns choosing a book. Read 20 mins, hugs/ kisses and goodnights, and everyone goes to bed at the same time. Now at 7 & 9 their routine is: They each shower before dinner, we eat dinner together, then spend some time reading solo or playing games or adults reading aloud. 15 minutes before the desired bedtime each kid brushes their own teeth, changes into pajamas, hugs/ kisses and goodnights, and then in bed for the night.
