So as the title says really, what time do you put your child/ren to bed? Do you have a set routine?
I've always been quite hot on having a routine with my son, I personally think children need it (Although because of Christmas etc he has had a few late nights.)
Our routine is normally he has had dinner by 5.15pm then has over an hour to let his food go down, I then run him a bath at 6.30pm which he is in for 15-20mins then get him dried and in his pj's and then we read stories for a while, (he doesn't have a tv in his room and I would never stick him in bed and let him watch telly until he falls asleep) I'm then finished and back downstairs by 7.20pm. This happens exactly the same every single night.
I only ask because I'm shocked at how late some people actually put their children to bed - people I've spoken to or seen on FB etc.
Do you think I put my son to bed too early? Or is the norm time for everyone?
He is 4 years old and sleeps till 7am.
