[quote=Anonymous]I have 12 and 15 year boys - they got up at 8 am to swim laps today. Yesterday they were up at 7 am to go ski. When they “sleep in”, it’s only until 9 am. The reason they are like this is because they are used to early am swim meets, ski team, soccer practice, crew practice etc. My 15 year old laments the fact that his friends sleep in so late that they miss the first chair and fresh powder. We didn’t plan it this way, but I have to say that I love that they don’t sleep the day away. We can get so much more fun stuff in on the weekends and they can get homework done more efficiently.

But the only reason it happened this way is because they grew up in ny, where pools and fields were in short supply, so we always had sat and sun practices at 7 or 8 am. Then we moved to a mountain town where they got up early to ski during holidays and continued early morning sports like crew and swimming. Otherwise, I have no doubt they would be sleeping in like champs.

So, my only advice is to schedule something on the weekends that they want to go to. Or a job if they like money.  [/quote]
