[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, because sleep is the glue that holds people together.  I judge parents who are highly-educated and *don't* pay attention to something as fundamental as their children's sleep needs.[/quote]

I don’t understand parents who provide no reliable day-to-day structure for their kids. Isn’t that called neglect?[/quote]

You do understand that bedtime is not the only way to provide structure, though, right? It seems like you don't, so here are some things that provide structure that don't require people to tell other people whether they're tired.

Family meals
School
Daily chores
Team or group activities
Jobs
Church[/quote]

People have very rigid benchmarks for success on this board. For example, teens are only independent if they make their own doctor appointments. If you make his appointment and your kid drives himself there, this doesn’t qualify. It also doesn’t matter if she holds a job, etc.

The flame throwers are out of control on this forum. I don’t have the time or inclination to judge you or your kids. [/quote]
