We are such night owls. They usually sleep till around 10:00 each morning, though, so they're still well within those guidelines you mentioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-25109467193703948702009-06-09T15:01:05.156-05:002009-06-09T15:01:05.156-05:00Since getting rid of bedtimes, my boys have become...Since getting rid of bedtimes, my boys have become even more "themselves". My older one goes to bed earlier, gets up earlier, and likes his routine. This is just the way he is, I can just *see* it more clearly now. My younger one was always "difficult" to get to bed, and now he is not, he goes when he is ready, often when I go. He also sleeps in. He has always been a cuddler and we now have one-on-one cuddle time because the older one is asleep. Once I stopped resisting either of them and their natural tendencies, a new and easy routine developed.<br />AAndreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642947276308505560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-70005679067384675032009-06-09T12:57:07.585-05:002009-06-09T12:57:07.585-05:00Being that our firstborn are twins, we have an adv...Being that our firstborn are twins, we have an advantage. We had no choice but to establish a routine. This began from birth and continued through with number 3 (the girl). We have rarely had issues with bedtime. As they get older, the bedtime has moved to around 8:30 during school and 9:00-9:30 during summer.<br /><br />Our two-year-old is the wild card. He has an established bed time, but our issue is with keeping him in is own bed through the night. He shares a room with our daughter so we don't feel it's fair to try and let him cry it out and deprive her of her sleep.<br /><br />But, we are well seasoned, experienced parents. We will find a way to do what we know we need to do and it will all fall in place.<br /><br />As a general rule, I believe the majority consesus in this poll is on the money. I lean more toward a rigid, set, bed time in the infant to toddler years. But once activities like Scouts, sports, etc. are introduced, a bed time "window" seems to work in conjunction with a routine.NateLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09045782044096060389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1473387128642021993.post-44629415341524702222009-06-09T12:43:34.483-05:002009-06-09T12:43:34.483-05:00Hey Jenny,
