Hi Again

As usual guys life got in the way of me doing any extra things but I figured I'd write and see how often I can get back to this. So what should we discuss today? I think maybe bedtime is a good one - I'm learning how different bedtime can be at different stages in a child's life- when they are small, you have to be firm and set a time and stick to it - routine is really good. Then comes the in-between age - not big yet but not really small anymore - at that time, you have to have a basic schedule but not be completely tied to it - make exceptions. Then comes the tween age - once you are teenagers I don't think there is any way to make you get the sleep you need - but tweens have to have a very flexible time - it has to depend on your mood, your day, your exhaustion level, and things like that. And the time between little kids bedtime and big kids bedtime has to be the greatest time of day - where there can be big kid things going on - games, reading, studying (not always the most fun but useful) and things like that. Ok, that's a thought for the day.
