5. Stop eating all together at least 3 hours before sleep. This will prevent heartburn, indigestion and energy boosts from the food. A good weight loss rule anyway. You've got to stop at some point.

Children thrive on routine, I think parents do not always understand that. During the week it could be the same ol' same ol', homework, go outside playtime, bath, dinner, read a book and go to bed, they will not mind it a bit. No TV during school days is another good routine, then TV on weekends is like a reward. Crayons and paper especially for younger children are a great substitute, and maybe playing a book on CD to read along when they are coloring, they forget that TV even exists.

Amazing people would not give their child a bedtime. This is kinda of a no brainer.

I think the fact that the parents show discipline by enforcing it consistently also helps too. Kids need discipline.
