5 year olds bedtime quandary

mrsa

I think its perfect time.
My 2yr old is in bed by 6.30pm, asleep in 5 minutes.
My 4yr and 7yr old are in bed by 7pm. Sometimes the older one will read for half hr.
They are all up around 6.30-7am.
Even if they have stayed up late for wedding etc, they still up at same time.

Since I wrote this question I have kept his bedtime at 7, and the last two nights he was asleep by 7.30 tonight having been back at school he is still awake at 8.30, so maybe school is exciting him that much it is keeping him awake

I remember the big deal it was when my bedtime moved from 7pm- my parents felt 9 was more appropriate when I'd started high school ( making me 11!)

At 14 I was told I could stay up as long as I liked but if I wasn't up for school I'd be joined under my cosy duvet by a bag of frozen peas! Needless to say, I nearly always went to bed between 9.30 and 10
