told I am unfair.  My 9yo daughter has to go to bed by 9:30 p.m.  My 10yo son has to go to bed by 10:30 p.m.  Now, naturally, she does not think it is fair BUT she needs more sleep to be able to be up by 6:30 a.m.  My son is actually usually in bed before his bedtime and some nights even earlier than her bedtime.  He has realized that some nights he needs more sleep than others.  He is not difficult to get up.  Then we have my lovely daughter who can just be a little "booger" to get up in the morning no matter what time she goes to bed :)  All kids are different.  Play around a little bit with it.  Give them some leniency with it.  See what works for you and of course him/her.  Have a wonderful week!
