Bed time and bonus time
Jan. 7th, 2006 10:20 pmI just got the kids to bed. Their bedtime is nominally 9pm, but there is a fairly regular practice of an hour of "bonus time"
The idea behind bonus time is that the kids have to be relatively good to get it, and that it can only be used for "calm" activities like being told bedtime stories or quiet reading or some of the tamer artwork. It makes a great transition hour, and the kids seem to actually get to sleep at 10 or not much after. I don't think a pure 10pm bedtime would work as well.
