What time do you think is appropriate for an eleven year old to go to bed on weeknights? Answers needed as soon as possible.

Thanks! I told my daughter that whatever the average was she'd have to agree to!

The last child development class that I took recommended 9 hours of sleep for kids that age, so depending on what time that alarm goes off... I'm sure that the need varies a bit from child to child, but a lack of sleep can make kids perform poorly academically, misbehave, and even be more prone to accident and injury.

Give the child a chance to demonstrate self control. Set bed time at 10 or 10:30 and let his/her getting up and active without prodding and productivity at school dictate whether s/he can handle it. If so, they feel good, if not you help them make a better decision.
