One thing summer has going for it is all the stimulus. Between the heat from the pavement, the glare of the sun, and the chlorine and endless motion of the pool those little bodies will be worn out, which makes the perfect siren song for bed. The more tired they are, the more necessary a consistent bedtime will be. Doesn’t that all sound so rational? So reasonable? So the exact opposite of children. They’re still going to fight it to the very end with that weird hyperactivity that seems counterintuitive to tiredness. However, their bodies and minds are tired even if they don’t show it. The physicality of their days really will work in your favor. You just have to be more stubborn than they are.
