Sleep On It

On March 10, we roll the clocks forward, but it can take a week or two for a kid's body to adjust to the time change.  Some tips for staying on track:

Go gradual
Starting the Thursday before the change, move your child's bedtime earlier by 15 minutes each day.  That way, the time difference won't feel so drastic when Saturday night arrives.

Be a schedule stickler
If your kid's bedtime is 7:30 pm, to help her set her internal clock don't allow her to stay up for the extra hour or let her snooze later on the weekend than she does on weekdays.
