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.

You know it can be very difficult for anyone, especially kids to suddenly change the sleeping time. So to avoid any problems with sleep time and the hours they get, I'd say you start a new routine at least two weeks before school starts. Let him have an early dinner, by around 8ish, so that he is in bed and asleep by around 9. That way, even if he wakes up at 7am, he'll get 10 hours of sleep. Instead of making him sleep after he's back from school, you can use the time to finish studies and let him play. This routine works best for my kids too :)
