My 4 and 6 year old girls generally get the recommended amount of sleep each night. In order to ensure that they do, I try to keep a consistent bed time, and a semi-consistent before-bed routine.Homework, dinner, more homework, toothbrushing, pajamas or a shower, a book or two (read by me or my 6 year old), and then TV until bedtime.

Unfortunately, as a single mom doing it alone for the most part, our schedule isn't exact, but it's the best we can do given our situation. I'm not as strict on the weekends, but since they sill wake up early by habit, they're pretty much going to be ready to crash around the same time each night - no matter how hard they try to stay awake.
