[quote=Anonymous]This is the PP quoted. I wasn't bragging. I was making my point that even kids with a heavy workload need time to chill. Rules are a little bit too stringent, in general, which is why our rules are rather lax. My kids are involved in clubs and/or sports, but I think it's important to cultivate their friendships and get in the habit of doing such now. HS student usually is in bed, lights out by 11-11:30. Some nights by 10, but 11:00 is more usual. Younger ones are in bed, lights out by 9:30-10:00. Now, if their grades slip (we expect all As, a B is ok), then we will sit and ask what's going on. Is it the subject, is it lack of trying, lack of studying, etc. we don't get mad or upset, but we do talk about it. They really can do anything; anyone and everyone can, in fact. Hard work pays off. I treat them like mini adults. I don't need my boss micromanaging me, but if I make a mistake or don't perform in an outstanding manner, I'd like to talk about it. [/quote]
