Staying Up Late
Exposing children to a bedtime schedule, early on - especially, once they are in school and begin to participate in extra-curricular, or athletic activities - and making an effort at sticking to it, is paramount in helping to insure he's getting as much downtime, as possible.
However, there may be times when older kids will want to exert their independence and parents may need to exhibit their flexibility - especially in households with younger siblings - and institute age-appropriate bedtimes.
Begin getting younger children ready for bed at 8:00 p.m. - with a 15-minute warning - and allowing older siblings an extra few minutes up to a half-an hour (before lights out) can go a long way to keeping the peace, in some houses.
Especially, to a rebellious tween and teenager.
