Kids sleep: we all need help sometimes! #bedtimelive

This afternoon, in anticipation of the Bedtime Live Channel 4 show at 8pm this evening, four lovely bloggers hung out with me to chat about sleep; and the problems that they are facing with their children.

It was a great chat, where we all agreed that it seemed that some children, and teenagers in particularly, just perhaps don’t needs as much sleep as we think that they do – so should we really be pushing them for lights out at a particular time if its just not really in their nature?

Come join us on the hangout for a chat – an even better submit your questions for the show to the beat those bedtime blues hangout on Google Plus and get your questions answered on the show. Just use the hashtag #bedtimelive and comment on the post on the Google Plus KiddyCharts page.

We were joined by:

Fiona Cambouropoulos, from Coombe Mill
Christine Mosler, from Thinly Spread
Susanne Remic, from Ghostwriter Mummy
Rosie Shelley, who blogs at Rosie Scribble and is also the fabulous Parenting Community Manager at Google UK, and finally
Me of course from Stickers, Stars and Smiles (my personal blog) and KiddyCharts.
