Is 6:00 pm too early for a 5 year old who has to be up a 6:30 AM?

Question

A friend of ours does this with her kid and I think it is way to early especially during the summer. Too much sleep can be worst than not enough, look it up. What time did/do you put yours around this age? Mine do to bed at 8:00 - 8:30 pm.

Answer 1

My 5 year old son has to get up at 6:30 for us to leave on time for school. He goes to bed 8 - 9 p.m., depending on whether or not he snoozed at naptime. 6:00 is way too early for that kid to go to bed. I think your friend is being selfish because she wants her own time and isn't thinking of her child.

Answer 2

Yes that is very early. If the parents work outside the home, when do they ever see this child. My 5 year old goes to bed between 8:30 and 9 each night and wakes up at 7 am.

Answer 3

CNN said this morning that children that age need 8 hours of sleep, teens need 10-12, so yes it is too early, interesting enough it said teens who do not get enough sleep gain more weight and schools at the Jr and high school levels that started school at 9 am rather then earlier had significant higher test scores because they got more sleep little off your question but i found it interesting, have your friend look on CNN.com or you could and print it out it should be there because it was all over it this morning and this afternoon, the study could re enforce your point because it states what all age groups need for sleep

Answer 4

Oh my! When I was working full time, I put my daughter (2 years old) to bed at 8:00 or 8:30 p.m. and woke her up at 4 am to get her to daycare on time! 6 p.m. - that's ridiculous, especially for a 5 year old!

Answer 5

Twelve or more hours at that age is a lot. I believe I was going to bed at 7:30 to be up at 6:00 at that age.

Answer 6

That's just about right. Ten or more hours of sleep. I put my 5 years old in bed at 7:30 p.m. and she fall asleep around 8 p.m. In the morning, I wake her up 6:20 or 30'ish a.m. It takes a while to be up, and get dressed for school. I give a little lead in the morning to be ready.

Answer 7

i was going to bed at 8 at his age and still not taking a nap at school
that is way to much sleep and because they are putting their kid to bed after dinner they are also going to make them obese

my daughter will be starting school in a couple weeks and she's 3 and will be going to bed at 9 or 10 (depending on if she takes a nap after school) and getting up at 6 or 630am (depending on whether we are walking or if we have a ride)

but on the weekends she doesnt have a bed time (i like to stay up late because of my husbands shift but i have to get 8 hrs or i will have a seizure)

Answer 8

yes 6 pm is too early for a 5 year old..then they will be up at the crack of dawn...mine goes to bed at 8 pm....that way she will also sleep a little later too..

Answer 9

My 9 year old stepson goes to bed at 9pm. I think that's too late. I think what you are saying sounds more reasonable. His sister who is 13 goes to bed between 10 and 11pm.

To me, it sounds too early. I think at that age, I was in bed around 7:30pm. But it may depend on the child. Maybe he's really grumpy if he doesn't get enough sleep.

Answer 10

Chuck E. Cheese may be a worthwhile place, even nonetheless it would be extra of a "take a woman offspring and circulate away your son in the back of with a be conscious" fairly of an quite commerce. Your son would be advantageous as long as you provide him a great style of tokens to tutor how lots you like him. do in simple terms no longer forget which you won't be able to commerce back while your 15 365 days old daughter comes abode pregnant, or will become a stripper. you're on your very own.
