Default Completely OT - bedtime for children

Your timing is about right, but one key recommendation:

Do not allow any electronic entertainment (fixed or portable) in the
bedroom.
iPods, XBoxes, TVs, DSs, Phones with games/gadgets etc. Unlike a book,
these will keep stimulating the child's senses and preventing sleep IME.


Thanks Phil. Yes, I agree one hundred per cent. He has access to
computer, Xbox etc. outside his bedroom up until bedtime, but, in bed,
only books are permitted. Luckily, he is an avid reader, so that does
not present a problem. Just discovered Michael Morpogo, who makes a
change from Horrid Henry.
