[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok...first, bed time is probably a little early. Heck, when my DD was 11, sports practices often did not end until 9 (Softball in spring & Basketball in winter). Screen time, well, kids use it for communications...HW will soon require computer time (Middle school for sure). Too Strict, IMHO.[/quote] Recommended sleep for kids this age is "at least 10 hours" a day, according to the CDC. OP's daughter wakes at 6:15. To get 10 hours, she'd have to be in bed, asleep, at 8:15 p.m. That's not going to happen for most kids, but at least with OP's current plan (lights out at 9), she has a chance of getting 9 hours. (And looking ahead, [b]recommended sleep for teens is 9-10 hours[/b]. Not sure any teen actually gets that, though.)[/quote] Wow, my teens (in high school now) are lucky to get 6.[/quote]
