cool girl.. does ure girl take naps during the day? plan it so her first nap is around 12 and her second nap is around 4.. if she can sleep for 1 hour at each nap time… she should be able to manage to stay up later into the evening… and be ready for bed around 9.30
and hey.. tire the hell out of her.. thats what i do with my son.. he used to start getting cranky around 8 but i know if i put him to bed then, he will call it a morning at 6 am cuz he will ahve gotten his full amount of sleep… so delay it… play with her.. interact with her…
For me it’s the opposite, if my daughter naps well during the day and sleeps on time she wakes up less frequently. If she’s over-tired she’d be waking up every 30 mins!
