[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to begin allowing your teen to regulate their own sleep patterns. If she doesn't get enough sleep on a school night at age 14+, let her learn from it before she goes to college in a few years. You can suggest she get some sleep, but enforcing a bedtime for a 15-year-old is something no parent should be doing anymore. Do you cut her meat, too?[/quote]

Sure. Because teenagers are so great at regulating themselves and making decisions that put their health over their immediate desires. [/b]And kids who don't have enough sleep are even better at that regulating.  :roll:

Your comparison to helping her get enough sleep to cutting food is ridiculous. Why didn't you suggest that she drink alcohol and try drugs? After all, she'll need to learn how to deal with those things at college. At 14, it's better that she knows how to handle them, right?

How old are your teenagers? Or do you even have kids? [/quote]
+10000. I want these "well, they'll learn their lesson if they're tired in the morning!" people to come hang out in my first period class.

Dp. High school starts too early for teens.  It should be 9-5 and a few of those hours they could do homework, sports or learn a skill such as cooking,balancing a budget, mental health, relationships[/quote]
