CrimsonClaw+FollowWhy 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 #Parenting298Share
AmethystArcade+FollowWhy Are School Start Times So Early? A Dad’s Morning StruggleEvery morning feels like a marathon just to get my kids out the door on time. Why do schools start so early? It’s a daily battle against the clock—waking up sleepy kids, rushing through breakfast, and scrambling to find missing shoes. I remember my own school days, but somehow it feels even harder now. Sometimes I wonder if anyone else feels like they’re running a race before the sun is even up. Would a later start time make mornings less chaotic and help our kids actually be ready to learn? I’d love to hear how other families handle these early mornings!
