Settling the Great Bedtime Debate: Early to Bed or Night Owl Kids?

Please help us settle this... In our house, bedtime is a battleground! One of us believes that an early bedtime is the secret to happy, well-rested kids, while the other thinks letting them stay up a little later helps them wind down and connect as a family. I remember growing up with a strict 8 p.m. lights-out rule, and I always felt refreshed in the morning. But now, seeing my own kids giggle together during those extra minutes before bed, I wonder if those moments matter just as much. What works in your family? Do you stick to a set bedtime, or do you let the evening unfold naturally? Share your thoughts below—we’d love to hear how you handle the bedtime dilemma! #FamilyDebate #ParentingChoices #BedtimeRoutine #FamilyLife #Parenting
