Early To Bed Means.., Early To Rise. Is This A Myth??

How about.., Late to bed means - Late to rise?  How long have you heard these statements and have you said them yourself? Nowadays, they say that infants and young children who are put to bed late at night are most likely to be overtired and have difficultly sleeping properly.

Children do not sleep in longer if you put your child to bed later.  You are only setting yourself up for a disastrous day for yourself and for the child.  Children really should have at least 12 hours of sleep.  Keeping your kids up too late, just may backfire on you. Your child may still get up at the crack of dawn.  So, late to bed, late to rise..., something tells me that's not wise!
