Daylight savings advice

by monyq83

(October 2007) (rank 14th)

Just a quick one for you today, a friend of mine just told me a great idea to help with the transition of an earlier bedtime with daylight savings.

This weekend NSW (and most probably other parts of Oz have it too but Im bloody hopeless and wouldnt have a clue where so add your state at the bottom if it applies to you also lol) daylight savings begins.

Start now at putting your kids to bed half an hour earlier, (increasing to an hour earlier by the end of the week) and your kids wont know the difference when they have to go to bed at a different time!

Of course this probably wont work for older kids, but for those that cant tell the time this is a great idea! Looking forward to starting mine tonight, goodnight kiddies! lol

Re: Daylight savings advice

Good advice Mony, Angelas has the dates if you want to link to it... I forgot all about it until the other day, so I will have to grin and bear it, although at this age - Jaydee doesn't seem too affected by anything except MY personal daily timer for him LOL.

Thanks for the reminder - Lui.

Re: Daylight savings advice

Great advice . . .

Sadly daylight savings has already started in TAS and OMG this is the 1st yr its ever caused a problem. Maybe because this is the first year it crept up on me . .

Cheers Kellz

Re: Daylight savings advice

Yep, probably would work well for little kids. My children will look at the clock and see the time and say no, not going to sleep yet. I'm considering tinting one son's windows. He likes it dark in his room. It might help. I renewed his curtains just before they brought d. s. in.
