[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also the problem is kids have too much screen time which makes it hard to go to sleep. If they need to do sone homework on a computer make sure they do that before dinner. When they don’t start homework until late it will mess with melatonin. Be the parent and limit screen time before bed and it will work wonders.[/quote]

Maybe your kids buy when do they have time.  Mine have activities, tutoring and homework.  That’s a parenting issue.  [/quote]

Sounds like your parenting issue is overscheduling your kids.....[/quote]

Having my kids involved with sports and music to enrich their lives, which is also their choice, is not over scheduling.  Utilizing the free tutoring MCPS is providing as a support is not over-scheduling.  And, yet, my kids are just fine with the school schedule and don't need extra sleep like yours do.  Maybe if your kids were involved in more activities they'd be tired and could go to bed and it would keep them off social media/electronics.  [/quote]

Huh?  I'm the first PP- I never said my kids were spending too much time on social media/screens.  But there is plenty of evidence that screentime before bed makes it harder to sleep and I notice that myself anecdotally if I'm on the computer or watching TV right before bed.  It's more of a reminder that if your kids are having trouble falling asleep, shift the screen activities earlier and see if that makes a difference.  Which I know, is hard with all the homework being on a Chromebook.  If this isn't a problem with your kids, move on.  If your kids are already in high school, there is zero chance MCPS will disrupt your ideal schedule so don't worry.  :roll: [/quote]

Clearly it’s an issue in your home as you are commenting.  Screen time is not the issue.[/quote]

JFC lady I’m trying to help people who say their kids can’t fall asleep at night.  No one ever complained about kids not being able to fall asleep at night in the 80s, I wonder why…..[/quote]

Of course kids had trouble falling asleep at night.  In the 80's there were plenty of other ways to stay up late from phones, video games, magazines, books, etc...[/quote]

But no 80s parents were wringing their hands over teen circadian rhythms.[/quote]
