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.

Now that the vacations have just started and there's a still month to go, do not take stress so much in advance. Enjoy the vacation and let him enjoy the time that is not strictly bound by the clock. And when there's a week or so for the school to re-open you can begin setting his routine by putting him to bed on the set time. And when he would sleep by say 9 or 10, he would wake up on time as well. This is something all parents go through when the vacations start. Even my son's school re-opened today and to be honest I was equally tensed as how he going to be back to his routine, but he did, and yours too will. Just don't stress so much in advance, and enjoy your extended timing of sleep as well.
