I think it depends on what time they typically get up in the morning and then back it up 10 or 11 hours!

my nine year old has always been an early riser so we always tried to get her to bed pretty early where as my older daughter always liked to sleep late.

At 3, the time is getting closer to getting him used to school times etc, but for now I'd be more concerned on how many hours of sleep he is getting rather than what time he is going to bed and getting up.

just my 2 cents worth

Using the 10 hour rule is a pretty good baseline.

I let my 10 and 12 yo stay up until 9 PM on school nights...they get up at 6AM. During th esummer, they are up until about 10PM.

My 5 yo is in bed around 8:30PM. However, he has always liked a good night sleep. He usually comes and asks us to put him to bed around 8:30 PM.

8-8:30

maybe some exceptions during the summer where it's still daylight...but try to get a nap if knowing he'll be up late.

8. Until HS, then it's 9!

Mine fall asleep somewhere between 8:30 and 9:30, which works for us, and always get up around 7-7:30.

The little guy still takes a nap around noon.

Activity level during the day seems to make the most difference. Amazing what a bit of fresh air will do for extended sleepytime.
