[quote=Anonymous]Does he wake up by himself or 630 or does he need an alarm? When my kid was 8/9 in 3rd grade she was in bed at 8, asleep by 830 and woke up naturally around 7/730. It does sound like he might not be getting enough sleep. When mine was in elem we used to get to school 15 mins early every day, along with a few other kids, so the kids could run around on the playground before going into school. We did the same after school for 15-20 mins before going home. My kid is in private MS and has PE once a week, additional physical conditioning 2x a week that is an elective plus recess every day. They need it. I have a theory that a lack of exercise is why there are so many fights in MS and HS. Kids are not supposed to sit all day. They sit on a bus to school then sit in the classroom. They have energy they need to expel even if they don’t realise it. We are doing them such a disservice with the lack of opportunities to Exercise . [/quote]
