How to avoid bedlam at bedtime
It’s quite a common dilemma for parents, according to Siobhán O’Neill-White, director of www.mumstown.ie, who says obstacles to a good bedtime routine can range from eating sugary foods too late in the evening to not wanting to leave the excitement if older siblings are still up.
“We try to put our four children, who are aged from 10 down to two, to bed at the same time to avoid this. I’m happy enough if they’re all asleep by 9pm,” she says.
