Halftime Hope Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 (edited) Sorry! I was interrupted and the software won't let me post the poll. I'll try a second post. Please answer there. Wondering what you all think about teens and activity after they are supposed to be in bed sleeping, for goodness sakes. And does your general orientation to life affect how you answered this? Please respond to my poll. Thanks. Edited October 24, 2011 by Valerie(TX) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 what poll? As long as DD is in her room, she can choose when she wants to sleep. School starts at 8am, no matter how long she stayed up. So, the occasional late night will lead to earlier bedtime the next evening. My kids have been self-regulating their sleeping time for many years. I need a lot of sleep and am usually in bed before them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 At this stage of the game I have a young teen. House rules are all phones are on the charging station in the kitchen before heading up to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my kids get cell phones until they have jobs and pay for them. None of them are allowed to have TV or computers in their rooms. But they can and do sometimes stay up late reading or puttering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Our computers all had separate accounts for each of the kids and all of them were set to shut off at 11pm. Dh and I were the only ones who could be on the computer past 11pm. Oldest got her own laptop at 17yo and I didn't place any restriction on her laptop. I wanted her to learn how to deal with having a computer in her own room before being out of the house. Once the oldest had her own laptop, I didn't need the restriction on the computers anymore. The other two are militant about their sleep. Late night phone use has never been an issue here. They all turn their phones off and put them on chargers.

TravelingChris Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 The only dd left at home has a cell phone where she can only do very limited texting. She has kept that rule. She has a computer but no tv in her room. She has a time she needs to wake up and if she stayed up too late, that is on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
