What time should a 10 yr old go to bed all week, Is my Dinner Time off, and how can I make her go to bed b4 me?

Around 9:30, but it is always up to you.No television in the hour before bedtime. TV is a stimulant for most children, and watching it just before bedtime can "jazz them up," and make it more difficult to fall asleep. The same goes for listening to loud or harsh music. Some soft, quiet music is probably okay. Reading for 20 to 30 minutes is a good way to settle down for a good night's sleep. The last rule is that he should not get into bed until he is truly tired. It is very frustrating to be limited to a bed for one or two hours when you are not ready to fall asleep.

i have (i'm almost 11) to go to bed at 8:45 during the week and i have to be at least in my pj's by 9:00 during weekends

Well Im 11 and I normally go to sleep at 10:00 - 10:30 the latest. I have to wake up at 6:30. Im normally not tired and feel fully rested. On weekends I go to bed at Midnight the latest. Also I eat dinner at 6:30....Yumm

Watch her before she goes to bed. Usually my husband is up so I have him make sure all 6 of my kids get to sleep. Turn off all televisions and unplug all computers. Go into her room and close the door. Make her get into her pajamas and have her lie in bed. Wait there until she falls alseep. Or like I said have your husband do it.

my nephew is 9 and goes to bed at 9 pm every day includes weekends. He gets up at 6:45 for the bus at 7:30 am. On saturday and sunday they get up at 7am. I would say that a bed time on the weekend should be no later then 10pm. Just my opinion though.

She really should go to bed around nine. 11pm is a bit late for a child who needs to have a full 9 hours of rest and has to get up around 7:15.

She should be in bed at 9 on school days and on weekends aim for 10 or 11 but that's up to you because it a weekend.

You are the parent. If you give in every time your child throws a fit, of course she is going to keep throwing fits. You need to tell her that the new rule is that she goes to bed, lights out, at 10pm every night. Obviously you can't make it earlier than that if you aren't getting home until 9:30 at night. Her homework should be done before dinner (completely reasonable considering how late you eat). You can explain to her that she needs extra sleep, and that what she's getting isn't enough, but ultimately you are the adult, and get to make the choices. Of course, you can't force her to sleep once she is in bed. You can only enforce the lights out rule. But as long as you make sure that there are no electronic distractions (such as TV, computer, hand-held games, etc.) in the room, she will probably be tired enough to fall asleep on her own. It might be time to consider finding outside help for your parents, or figuring out a different way to help them. If they need help seven days a week, would it make more sense to move in with them, or have them move in with you? Maybe you could pool your resources and get a bigger place to accommodate both your family and them. Or, perhaps they need to hire a nurse or aide. Medicare or their insurance may be able to help with these costs. A friend of mine has had jobs like that, where she went and helped people make dinner, take pills, and get ready for bed. Your current situation sounds stressful, and it's no wonder that your daughter is trying to stay up late to try to eke out a little personal time with you. She has needs too. Kids at that age need just as much one-on-one time as a 5-year-old. You can only do what you can do, but maybe you can make a little bit of extra parent/daughter time while at your parents' house. That might help her to feel like she's gotten the attention she needs so that she isn't so reluctant to go to bed at 10pm or earlier. Hopefully, once she starts doing that, you'll actually get a well-deserved hour or two for yourself. Good luck.

the dinner time is fine..that's about normal.. if you put her to be around 8:15 and just let her lay and rest she'll probably go to sleep a bit early but if you put her in bed around 10:00 then she'll probably go to sleep around 11:00..i think it depends on what time you lay her down because the average person goes to sleep within 7 min. but they have to be tired they can't just lay down for 7 min. and be sleepy so that's why you should lay her down at least 45 min to an hour early.. GOOD LUCK!
