I think that it is important to consider your family's needs...and work from there. Over the years in our house, bed times and bedtime routines have changed along with the ages of the children, Dad's work schedule, etc. The key is to be flexible and sensitive to each other's needs.Cheryl https://www.blogger.com/profile/00063844335185525553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378562155896437704.post-164854173592135162010-03-07T17:48:44.667-05:002010-03-07T17:48:44.667-05:00kristin, for such a young woman you have

I read somewhere online about purchasing a timer to plug a small lamp into, when the lamp turns on (a dim bulb) the children were allowed to get up.
