Hi. I normally post on the April 2013 board because I have a newborn as well as a 3.5 year old. Just as an unofficial poll, what time does your pre schooler normally go to bed? Does he or she still nap? TIA!
When she is in school, super active and waking up around 6, bedtime is 7:30 with whatever nap she gets at school. During the summer, naps don't always happen and she stays up closer to 8 and is sleeping in till around 7.
DS recently gave up his naps, so we moved his bedtime to around 7:00 or 7:30 (we're still figuring out the right bed time). Before he gave up naps, he was going to bed at 8:00.
When my oldest was 3.5 he was in bed around 7:30 pm... Now my youngest preschooler goes to bed whenever... But that is summer only! During the school year they are in bed at 8 and wake at 7.
If DS naps at school it delays bedtime/ sleep. We could put him to bed at 8 and he may not fall asleep till 9930. On a no nap day he's in bed by 8 and asleep shortly after. Recently he's been waking later between 89am. He's sleeping about 11 hours at night
DS is 3. He still takes a nap, thank goodness, for about 1.5-2 hours every day. He goes to bed at 8 and is up no later than 6:30am, ever. The kid does not understand the beauty of sleeping in on a Saturday.
