I have 5 kids and they are all in their beds by 9 o-clock. I think it is important for the parents to get to spend some time relaxing also or you just end up with very stressed out parents

My daughter is 2 goes to bed at 8.30 but my son who is 6 goes to bed at 9-930 so can spend quality time with his dad. Also as a baby he never really slept for long, but my daughter was a good sleeper as a baby. So i say between 8 and 9 for 6 -7 yrs and 9and 10 for 8-10 yrs

Good heavens...if I had put my kids to bed at 7:00 or 7:30 p.m. at that age, they'd have been up at 4 a.m.
My older son (now 13) thought he should be able to stay up later than the younger son (now 9), but at those ages their sleep needs sort of flip-flopped....the oldest sleeps FAR more than the youngest.
Bedtime during the school year is 9 p.m. for both of them. In the summertime and on weekends bedtime is at 10 p.m. for the 9 year old. The 13 year old is to be in bed at 10...lights out at 10:30.

My children go to bed at 8pm on a school night and 9pm at weekends. They both have a TV in their room but my middle daughter who is 9 is only allowed to watch it till 9. My son who is 13 can watch till 10. It may sound early bed time, but I have child time with my 3 kids (the youngest is 3 and goes to bed at 6.30) and then I have grown up time with my husband where conversations can be free and we don't have to be careful what we say and we can watch what we like on TV.

I send my son to bed at 8 and he watches a film or plays in his room, so goes to sleep between 9.30 and 10. my son does not need a lot of sleep, as long as he gets up before i have to wake him up, i know he is getting enough. all children are different, it depends on the activites they have during the day and stuff, i do think they need a routine though and need to know what time is bed time.

It depends on whether it's summer or during the school year. If they don't have to get up early in the morning it doesn't hurt to let them stay up till around 10 p.m. if they are being good. During the school year I think it's best if they are in bed by 8 p.m. and have had their story read by 8:30.

At ages 6-9 it was between 8:30-9PM and then once age 10 was reached, it was 9:30.

Bath at 7pm, bed by 7.30 for stories etc...asleep by 8pm. I got away with it with youngest until he was 10. Now my 16year old has his own timetable but youngest is 12 and is still in bed by 9.pm asleep by 9.30. Weekends however have their own agenda.
