Hi there,
We too heard about what nhockaday was saying about letting your child cry. We were softies though...
I just wasn't strong enough. Our week shedule is also very vaired with two nights during the week out and back by 10pm - so it is hard to be consistant about bed time. I have noticed too though (my son is 3 1/2 now) that if he doesn't have a nap during the day he goes off to sleep much earlier - even as early as 6:30pm in the car and will sleep through. However, a nap in the afternoon and he can be awake at 10pm. I kind of keep a gauge on him, if I notice he's a bit grouchy then for sure he gets the extra sleep in the afternoon. But otherwise I just let him play in the afternoon and then get him to bed by eight. One thing I found helps is not to get to stressed about the whole thing. Each child is different and you've got do what you feel is best.
