My 12-year-old goes to bed at 9 and gets up around 6:15. My 9-year-old goes to bed between 8-8:30. The other poster is right, it really depends on the child. My 9-year-old does not do well when he does not get enough sleep. My pediatrician says they should get 9-10 hours of sleep per night.

Well, it's bedtime. We debated
about crating him or just baby gating him, with me pushing for crating him but DH not liking the idea, and then Cedric settled the issue by finding the loose foot from a cabinet and taking it to the dog bed to gnaw on. I was sure I'd already picked up all the bones they hadn't consumed (the rawhide ones), so I went right over to see what this was and discovered it was wood. He gave a low growl as I tried to take it, but I never flinched and got it away. The growl was the only display, and now he knows that doesn't work on me.
He is now safely crated and only cried for 30 seconds. He's got a safe but long-lasting treat bone in there, so he'll be fine.
fave bedtime snack
Try Toasted Corn Doritos with extra sharp cheddar cheese (hand-shredded) & sprinkled generously over the chips -- Pop plate in toaster oven, 225* for 5 mins. YUM!
