[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]where do you all get so much time in the day?[/b]

I have an 11 yo DD and we have all the same rules.

We used to have lights out at 10 (a year ago), but she was tired all the time. We inched it down little by little and now it is 9:00 PM and she wakes up so much happier in the mornings.

Def. no screen time during the week. With homework and snack and some outdoor playtime and music practice, there just wouldn't be time for it![/quote]

My kid (11 years old, 5th grade) rarely has more than 30 minutes of homework, if that.

Snack time is in the car on the way home, or between school and her after school activities.

She does an activity immediately after school 3x a week; 2 days of that is a sport so that covers physical activity.

We don't do an instrument but we do supplemental academics that take up to half an hour per day.

Bedtime is between 9 and 9:30.

On her busiest day, she's home by 5:15, homework including supplemental stuff is done NLT 6:15, dinner is generally from around 6:30 to around 7 or 7:15, chores take no more than 30 minutes, and she's left with 90 minutes to 2 hours of free time. Any free time she gets, she can spend doing whatever activity she wants, including screen time.
