NOTE:  Daylight saving finishes this Sunday 5th April 2009 at 3am.  Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour.

How do your children cope with daylight saving?  Do you find it hard when we are going into daylight saving or coming out of it?  It seems so much easier turning the clocks back because it then becomes ’dark’ in the evening when we are putting our little treasures into bed.  On the other hand, when we are heading into daylight saving who’s had their little one say “why am I going to bed in the daytime?” 

With my children I have always just adjusted to the timing the next morning.  We turn all the clocks back before we go to bed and then avoid saying things like “oh, it’s really 5pm and not 6pm”.  Just adopting the new time has become the norm and because I don’t make a fuss out of it neither do my children.  It wasn’t an issue I really wanted to face twice a year so it just slipped on into our daily routine.

Have you had troubles with daylight saving and sleeping children?  Let me know how you managed it?

PS.  Enjoy your extra hour sleep this weekend
