How to change sleeping timings of my 4yr old ? Being vacations,he sleeps late and wakes up late. Next month his school begins. he is to reach school by 08.15am and stay there till 3pm. By the time he will reach home it maybe almost 4pm. He requires 10 hours sleep at night. now he sleeps by 11pm. Thanks in advance.

When one week of his vacation is left, start getting back to his school routine. Give him early dinner and make him go to sleep by 9ish. This way, he will have sufficient sleep to keep him fresh the whole day. To begin with, you can lie down next to him and see him through his sleep and later sneak out. This will give hime the comfort of you being around and it will be easier to get back to routine.

Let him enjoy his vacations now! Get him to a routine 7-10 days before his school commences. Get him to follow a routine sleep and wakeup schedule and eating schedules. My kids also wake up late and sleep late during vacations but on school days they follow a strict routine.
