Well normally vickie does not nap...... she is 3 and gets up between 6:30 and 7

most mornings and goes to bed by 7:30 or so at night... that is unless she for

some reason does fall asleep during the afternoon and then she might not go to

sleep until 10 or later... though on her way home from the school she does tend

to fall asleep on the bus

Ok folks I'm taking a poll.......

What time do you kids go to bed?

How long of a nap do they take during the day?

What time do they have to be at school?

We're trying to get on a schedule and right now we're going to school 2 days a

week..next week it will be 4 days with a break in the middle (but I work that

day so the schedule will sort of be the same) Just curious as to what the rest

of the world is doing...lol

is 17, but still in school. He goes to be around 9pm on school nights.

Weekends, he decides. He also decides for himself in the summer. He wouldn't

take a nap if we paid him. He has to be at school by 8:00 am.

My 3 1/2 yr old son goes to bed at 8 PM. He has no school right

now, but last year this is how it went--

He had to be woken up (or was sometimes already awake) for school at about

7:10 AM to catch his 7:40 bus-- school began at about 8:20 so he had kind

of a long ride. He was home by 11:40 and napped from 1:15 -2:30 PM. He

would sleep longer but I always woke him since i want him to still go to

bed by 8 PM. This summer I've already moved up his nap so he sleeps from

1-2:15 instead of the way it was before. I am a stickler to my

schedule!! It makes life run smoothly.

Bedtime, LOL? What's THAT?

Jordan needs VERY little sleep. He wakes with me at 6 am. He attends school

from 8:30 til noon, does NOT nap, and finally winds down around 11 P.M. Says he

wants to " watch the evening news " , lol. He's usually awake when I doze off.

Jordan is 4 yrs. 4 mos.

Oh Sharon, I remember what a great routine you described in the

spring for your kids, and after school/homework - you are probably an

inspiration for us!

I am interested to see what answers Angie gets, all I know is August

27 is the first day of school, and it will be hurting my 6 yr old!

She is a night owl, and definitely loves to sleep in - if I can get

her to lay down at 9:30, it's rare.

My 4 yr old (nda) doesn't begin preschool until October, he is more

of an early riser, and so I enrolled him for mornings, Tues and

Thursday 9-11:30 am. Probably 9 will be bedtime, and he takes naps

only occassionally, usually a drive in the afternoon knocks him out,

or if he stops to watch tv.

Olivia usually takes one good nap in the afternoon, and I try to nap

with her when I can! Since and will never nap then,

they start out laying by me, then they move on to play in their rooms

HI Sharon

I have kind of the same situation here .... Kaite my 14 yr. old would stay up

till midnight if Id let her, I insist on 10pm bed time for her (she naps

after school before homework) Sara heads to bed usually at 730. We talk for a

while in bed and have our " snuggle time " last night she went to bed at OH MY

GOODNESS 10pm. I had a church class and NO ONE would send her to bed Sara

needs

at least 10 hr. of sleep to be a good student at school lol when tired she's

more noncompliant and mischievous. Right now she's afraid the principal will

kick her out, she got this thought from attending summer school at a different

school and she didn't like it lol

We have had NO homework, in fact it takes Sara's school at least 2 weeks to

get on some type of schedule. This is ridiculous in my mind since the teachers

go back a week before school starts but I try to remember I am in the South

lol where things move at a slower pace.

Oh Sharon Sara never sweats the small infractions lol Ill ask about her day

and she says " oh I was good " when I bring up any incidents that Ive read about

in her book, shell say " oh forgot about that, don't worry Mom "

Usually goes to bed at 10:00pm and gets up at 7:15am during the school

year. She has sleep apnea so sometimes she will get back up at 1a.m. or

whenever and watch tv. So it messes us up alot. But we will be back to school

schedule by monday as school starts. Nettie619 has never required much

sleep

but now we are finding it maybe due to sleep apnea.

My boys are all older, but the rule in our house has always been 9:00 bedtime

during the school year. The summer they have been up till 11-12, but will

usually be in bed no later than 11. When they were younger 8:30 was the latest

I let them up. I have always looked forward to those couple of hours to

myself. To this day, if they are not in by 9:00 I get a little testy. That is

MY time! LOL.

My son is 4 years 3 months,

He goes to bed at 7:30 pm, No nap, gets up at 6:30 am and has to be at school

at 8:00 am. He is in school until 12 noon and will increase to 1:00pm in

September.

Actually, the only homework 's teacher gives is to study her spelling words

and definitions. If there is class work she didn't get done in class, that will

be sent home as homework. But likes doing homework, probably has to do

with the fact her sister has homework every day. So I always have something

for to do, and we have a special " homework binder " , one of those wild

binders, that is 's homework station.

It has only been the end of last school year, and now the beginning of this one

that will voluntarily tell you about any bad things from her day. She

used to lie, and always say she had " all G's " , when in fact that wasn't the

truth. Before school started this year, she came up to me one day and told me

what she would do if bothered her ( is an EC child in her room and

a behavior problem, he has always been a distraction to ). She told me she

wouldn't look at him or listen to him, she would close her ears and do her work.

She told me this the week before school, with no prompting. I think she is

beginning to have a better grasp of action/consequence. But her favorite phrase

has always and will always be " I won't ever do that again " . LOL

Micah is almost 3 (October) and usually doesn't take a nap anymore. On the

occasion that he does it is usually late afternoon which means a later

bedtime. Normal bedtime is around 8:30-9:00. with wake up time at 5:30

YUCK!! If I am lucky I can get him to snuggle with me and go back for

another hour.

Nic's bedtime is 9:00. He will only sleep a max of 10 hrs (even tho he's up

several times during the night) so we have to be careful he doesn't fall asleep

too early or he'll be up at 5 am.

AT first Mark would get out of bed. I did the sign for stop and no and kept

bringing him back. I told him, he didn't have to go to sleep, he had to stay in

bed. At that time, I layed down w/him for about 20-30 mins. stroking his hair

and massaging his back. It took a few months but he'll now lay in bed on his

own. There are of course times, he screams " not tired, no bed " and then bedtime

will be a struggle. It doesn't happen so often. I'm so happy he can even say

this to me now. Good luck
