Toddler bedtime

We go up to get ready for bed at 9:30, she’s usually asleep by 10. Then we don’t wake up until 8:30-8:40ish. We don’t have morning commitments so this later schedule works for us! We also have a set bedtime routine that we have done since she was an infant. She knows what to expect and can now say the list by memory! A visual to-do style list with pictures can help kids to know what’s next and maybe choosing the order in which they get ready for bed can help them feel in control a bit?
@Janiece I was thinking maybe about a list yes I guess I'll try hoping it works; Thank you ! Our routine used to be working great and bedtime was always easy and I feel like now that my son is getting older they team up to resist things 😮💨
@Natalie thank you so much for sharing this I guess I lost my consistency in the way and it's getting back at me. She's the same, always getting back up; I tried the book system too but for some reason she always puts all her books inside her closet 🤷🏽♀️ I will try the pictures to do list hoping it will work. I always feel guilty after in the morning cause of course they're tired and days are long..
My 3yo goes to bed whenever she feels like it from 8:30-10:30. Sometimes we’ll push for the 8:30 if we had a long and busy day. She’ll wake up anywhere from 6:30-10:30.
Bed by 8pm up at 645am for daycare weekends rest :)
