Why I Put My 7-Year-Old to Bed Early (And Don’t Regret It)

Sometimes I wonder if I’m the only parent who still tucks their 7-year-old in before 8 p.m. While some families let bedtime slide, I’ve found that those extra hours of rest make a world of difference for my child. The evenings are calmer, and mornings are so much smoother—no cranky wake-ups or battles to get ready. I know every family is different, but for us, an early bedtime is a gift. It gives my child the rest they need and gives me a little quiet time to recharge, too. Do you have a set bedtime for your kids, or do you let them stay up later? I’d love to hear what works for your family! #ParentingJourney #FamilyRoutine #RaisingKids #Parenting
