[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15yo has a bad habit of staying up very late. He has been like this since he was a baby and we had wild bed time battles. The last couple of nights I have been up early in the mornings (because the dogs have been barking at foxes) and caught him on his phone or reading a book. We make all the kids leave their phone in the kitchen at night so he’s clearly taking back his phone after I go to bed. Is this a time for natural consequences or should I continue to fight this fight? FWIW he’s pretty good about getting up in the morning. [/quote] You should of course have consequences for taking the phone back, since that's a house rule. I think reading is OK, I often get up and read when I can't sleep. You may also rethink things when he starts to drive. An exhausted teen driver is at higher risk for an accident.[/quote]
