what time should i put my 2 yr old to bed

[PANAMHIEST]

ive been putting my 2 yrd old to bed at nine o clock. I was wondering if any of you think that is a good acceptable time to put her to bed. She seems to like to sleep in so thats gr8 for me

Honestly, i think if the child is up and about seeing that the parents are awake and moving about doing something, then naturally the child will want to be part of this. So my solution would be this. If you want your child to go to bed early, then get them up early say 7am or 8am or even earlier. That way they will go to bed earlier. Also when you do put them to bed, tune down the tv or music and lights for a while till they fall asleep, that way they dont think they are missing out on something. But whatever works best for you, do it.

well 9 o clock is reasonable but dont think it will be like that 4ever because when they get a year or so older they make there own sleeping times. stay on top of it and maybe u could be a lucky one. my 2 year old goes to bed at like 12. its my fault because ever since i got laid off and since my oldest has gotten out of school for the summer i have been real laxed on sleeping times. its gonna be tought to get back on that schedule. well speaking of schedules i need to get back on one with me starting my old job back in 6 days.

They should go to bed 30 min after dark and wake up 30 min after sun up.
That what my kids do and did.

Not true

They went to bed when we did and never complained
Takes us back to the thread about raising chidren.
You can't let them make rules when they are very young.
Teach em proper when they are infants and you won't have a battle of wills later.
