    Bed time an uphill battle...

    Thanks you! I just don't want my 7yo DS to feel punished because he shares a room with his little brother. And at 730, though not always feeling tired, we still make him lay down. I guess it's worth a shot to give him a little more freedom.

    How do you keep your kids safe?...
