[QUOTE="Andy, post: 270676, member: 5096"] 4.5 hrs of zoo activities after supper is also pushing it after a long day of travel. Who ever put together this schedule must be used to working with middle to older aged teens who are used to staying up later. they definetly don't have pre-teens in their homes or lives. I can't imagine your difficult child is the only kid in his class to be asleep by 9:00 every night. 11:00 is a real late curfew - especially with up at 7:00. That is only 8 hours of sleep. difficult child's doctor said kids that age need a minimum of 9 to 9.5 hrs sleep and preferraby 10 hrs of sleep per night. Whoever is making the schedule is not looking at sleep requirements for kids this age. A 7:00 - 4:30 day is also very long to follow the previous day. I would hate to be on that bus ride home! Can you let him sleep in that first night and get him to school 10 - 15 minutes before the bus leaves? [/QUOTE]
