[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It has been working for us. My 7th grader goes to bed around 9:30/10:00pm and I wake her up at 5:15am at the latest per HER request. I find it ridiculous, but she says she needs the tine to “get ready.”

Bus is at 6:30am btw.

She has been “training” herself to wake up early since last year (ES hours) and she used that time to do homework.

When she gets home around 2:30/2:40pm, she takes one hour to decompress and do whatever she wants. After that she does her chores and school work. Three days/week she has extracurriculars such as soccer practice and AoPS.

Somedays she will meet with a friend for chatting, ice cream or Starbucks at our nearby shopping center. She seems ok so far.[/quote]

Well, if it works for her . . . . that settles the matter.[/quote]

A 7th grader who only needs 7-8 hours of sleep per night and feels fine and can learn, play sports, etc. as normal on that sleep for days straight is not the norm. Most 12 year olds need 9-10 hours of sleep. Mine is definitely at her best at 10 hours. Although she bristled at first at the idea of a very early bedtime, after the first few days of school and being very tired, she has shifted to 8:30Pm lights out.[/quote]

+1 plus if she needs Starbucks, she’s not ok.[/quote]

PP said she hung out with friends at varying places afterschool on the 2 days a week she doesn't have organized activities, and one of those places is--gasp-_Starbucks --a popular hangout spot .  That's not "needing Starbucks"  [/quote]

What are you, PP’s bodyguard and mouthpiece?[/quote]
