[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm wondering how other pre-teen parents feel about late-evening (I would even say night) sports practices. I just had to pull my middle-school aged kid out of a sport he loves because we found out the practices for his team would run past 9pm. Kids at this age need as much sleep as younger kids, especially with the increased academic load and earlier school start times, but I'm finding that activities tend to go later. Does anyone else have a problem with this?[/quote] My 13 year old does this but he’s actually gotten much better at managing his time as a result, and he’s very committed to his sport. He doesn’t go to bed until around 10:00 pm anyhow. Did you give your kid a chance to see if he could handle it before you pulled him? [/quote] 10 is tough. Doesn't he get up around 6 for school?[/quote] Not the PP but my son (12) goes to bed at 10. The school bus arrives at 7:05. he gets up at 6:30.[/quote]
