I remember one summer when we visited my parents. The kids were 2 and 3 – we wondered why they were getting so grumpy. My parents lived 200 miles west and 300 miles north – about 30 miles from Canada. It was still light enough to be outside at 10:15 or so, instead of our usual 8:45ish.
Not a chance, lol. To be fair, it’s also harder for them to get sleepy when it’s so light, so you also have to make it dark just to help them quiet down.
Buy me a hot cocoa
I’m assuming it’s not as simple as telling them that 7/8pm is bedtime even when the sun is up?
Kids that age have no understanding of time, really…

That is clearly not the same Canada. West Coast?
Oh God, I almost forgot but when I was very young I think our parents did this!
