This isn't so much an 'is it normal' but what's the normal' .
I make my 12year old daughters bedtime 8.30pm. ( my son is 7 and his is 7.30) Do you consider this a normal bedtime or is it too early or too late? My daughter wants it to be 9pm and sometimes I let her stay up till then and read in bed.
What's your children's bedtime and age?
I'm the OP and I let my daughter stay up until 9.30 last night and it was hard to get her up this morning for school. I'll let her stay up a bit later from now on.
Thanks for all your advice
I remember when i was about that age i went to bed about 9 or 10. I guess since i had these bed times 7 or 8 just seem early to me.
Too early. She will rebel agaist you soon and then you will have no control over her. She will have no control over herself because she have never had any responsibility for her self. Pathway to hell for her.
I think 10 is fair as long if he dose his home work. But you got too realize 12 it a big age, just wait 2 more year and they are going be wanting to go to bed at 2 am.
Just try not force your kid to bed I am sure they will get tired by 9 if you put a movie on.
I'd say 8:30 would be fine...if your 12 year old had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning. I don't put my toddler to bed until nine, but I don't wake him up until about 8 the next morning...that's 11 hours of sleep!
the 12 year old is going to stay up past 830 whether you like it or not...haha you've got a fun couple of teenage years ahead of you good luck with that
I wouldn't say bump it up an hour, but maybe a half hour for both. During high school they should be able to decide when they want to go to bed.
My bedtime was when i was 12 9:30. If your daughter is complaining that she goes to bed way to early then you could add an hour. Just some toughts :)
When i was 13-14 my bedtime was 10:00 and when i turned 15 my mother would let me decide when i wanted to go to bed.
starting at grade 7 a bedtime should be 9. move it up a half hour each year but stop at 10:30 or 11.
12 years 9:00 13 year 9:30 14 10:00 and 15 the horrible age 11:00 then from then on it's all their fault if they wake up tired as hell...
When I was 12 I didn't have a bedtime and when my brother was 7 his bedtime was 9-9:30
When I was 12 I didn`t have a bed time but I made sure I got enough sleep
Well, when my daughter was 12, she was in bed by 9pm and had around 30 minutes to spend in her room with the lights on, then she had to go to bed. since she wasn't very good at getting up earlier, so the time differs with sleeping routines. and when she was seven around 7:30 8pm yes! So fairly good times I would say'
my 2 year old cousin stays up till 9 but he takes a nap in the middle of the day but normally for a hr or 2. I was 13 going to bed at 10:30 waking up at 7
Thats reeaaaaly early, when i was 12 i went to bed at 10. Now when my mom tells me to go to bed i dont listen cuz im in high school and its rediculous to have a bed time at this age. I can choose bed time myself, and i cant sleep at night and she wont let me take naps so i dont listen to her anymore, because shes stupid.
I've made her new bedtime 10.00 and she often puts herself to bed b4 then anyway.
Thanks for all your comments
Bad, they only need to sleep 8 hours, if they sleep more the can be fat in the future
my kids are 13, 12, 5, and 2 and they go to bed around 10 unless they are sick and then it's a little earlier. when i was a chid my bedtime was 830 even in high school...give them a little breathing room!
good times for kids to goto bed make sure the younger one is always treated the same (in comparison to age) with when they have to go to bed.
take it back to 9 and 8:30 sheesh! Do they have anytime to play after school and homework dinner and a bath?
Sounds a little early for both. Maybe 8 or 8:30 for the 7 year old and definitely at least 9 for the 12 year old. 9 sounds perfect/
When my bro and sis were 7 they were down by 8 (i was 13 and i was in bed by nine) s
