[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting responses, I never realized so many go to bed early at 8/8:15. We are finishing dinner and hw at that hour. Do you all SAH?

Due to birthday my 4th grader is 9 turning 10. 10pm bedtime. [/quote]

10 pm is way too late for a school night.

I have a kid the same age. 9 or 9:30 at the absolute latest. Changing to to 8:30 or 9.[/quote]

10:00 to 8:00 is enough sleep. Many kids need or naturally want to wake earlier and if that's your kid then you're right 10:00 is too late. But Fairfax county doesnt start elementary school until 9:10. So many kids don't wake until 8:00 or even later.

I'm a parent with a 4th grader who has sports practices until 9:00 and I was initially freaking out about it becauseI also believed all kids should be asleep by 8:30 or something like that, but its been OK. And actually kind of nice to have the flexibility to do things later.[/quote]

I agree 10pm to 8am is enough sleep if your child actually falls asleep by 10 (not just in bed) and actually sleeps until 8am. We didn't have that luxury in 4th grade because school started at 7:30am and kids needed to by dropped off by 7:20am. Thankfully we lived close to the school. But for my kids to get 10 hours, waking up at 6:30am, they needed to be asleep by 8:30pm, and they were. [/quote]
