I agree with you on the early bedtime. My daughter goes to bed around 8pm and sleeps until around 7 or 8am. Kids need rest and don't need to be up so late. Kids are better mentally and physically with plenty of rest. For those people who let their kids stay up later and they sleep the same amount as my child then fine...whatever. However, if they go to bed late and get up early then they are just asking for cranky kids.
