[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids need to be up by 6:30. They are 11 and 13. I showed them the recommendation by the AAP and they worked backwards themselves. They get 10 and 9 hours respectively. So [b]8:30 and 9:30 bedtimes,[/b] on weeknights. They don't have a bedtime on weekends.

I can't convey how much better behaved my kids are in public compared to a lot of their friends/cousins - and we aren't particularly strict about anything but sleep and screens. [/quote]
This is something I do judge for, kids that close in age should not have different bedtimes especially if they both have to get up at the same time, it's not fair to the younger sibling.[/quote]

Pp here. In this particular case, the younger one just has always needed way more sleep. For example, she slept 12 hrs as a 1st grader. She even napped at age 6.  But I agree with you usually.  The younger sibling goes to bed without complaint and no prodding (whereas we definitely have to encourage the 13 year old).
