Our dd goes to bed at 8:00, sometimes we read starting at 7:30 somtimes we just sit and cuddle. If the TV is on and too distracting we will go to her room and sit.
She does well with a set bedtime and she has NEVER been left to CIO. Her nap are pretty much the same each day. If there is a night that she is not ready to go to sleep she says up for a 1/2 hour and I watch for sleepy cues. Sometimes she stays up later but more than not she is ready for bed.
Mom appreciates a few minutes to clean house and take care of other things while dd is getting the rest she needs.
