They are the ones who fill our tummies with delicious foods others in the world only wish they could sample. The little things such as bedtime stories are taken for granted because we don’t know what it’s like to have parents who can’t read.

Did you know that most 4th graders go to bed at 9:00 P.M.? In my opinion, I think that kids should have a later bedtime. Sometimes you are not tired when you go to bed, if you have a later bedtime you will have more time to do homework, and you get more time to settle down. Parents should talk with their kids and pick a bedtime that works best for everyone. When you go to bed you are sometimes not tired (like me).

Reading to me as a child established a notably special bond that I have with my grandmother. This was a momentous time of the day and night that was always anticipated on by the both of us.

I want Dadda to tell me a bedtime story that I get to pick out all by MYSELF!" She stage whispered excitedly. "All by yourself? But didn't your Dadda already tell you a bed story when you were SUPPOSED to go to sleep earlier." He teased her, not having the heart to really scold her for something like staying up 15 minutes past her bedtime on a weekend. "Well ya see Daddy
Parenting has many different approaches for various tasks. One of the most difficult tasks for most parents is bed time. What do you do when it is far past bedtime and your little one is reluctant to go to sleep? Do you put them in their room, walk away and check on them periodically? Do you snuggle them to dream land? Both techniques have their pros and cons. The checking on them periodically, otherwise know as the cry it out method, coined by Dr. Richard Ferber is the first major method. The second

development. Along with many popular childhood behaviors it is said that the most common behavior seen in children is bedtime noncompliance (Ortiz & McCormick 2007). Bedtime noncompliance not only affects the relationship between a child and a parent, but it also affects the child’s overall school performance and may even lead to mental illnesses and disorders.
