Very well adjusted young people. The oldest son has his own business that he runs full time WHILE attending college full time. Really neat family! I've learned a lot from them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22977090.post-1143034670167921392006-03-22T07:37:00.000-06:002006-03-22T07:37:00.000-06:00And I am assuming that you put them to bed at a re...And I am assuming that you put them to bed at a reasonable hour also. One thing I failed to state in this blog is that the most important thing is getting to bed on time - then sleep until you naturally wake up! I'm not so sure about your friend's teenage theory! I believe families should still have somewhat the same sleeping/waking/eating schedule! That sounds more like teenagers ruling the home.Jen Fishburnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240505611077771944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22977090.post-1142987711271951512006-03-21T18:35:00.000-06:002006-03-21T18:35:00.000-06:00an older mom, who has raised 3 children that are w...an older mom, who has raised 3 children that are walking in the Lord, believes that teenagers are wired differently for a period of time in their lives - that their bodies actually function on a different time zone - they are wired to stay up until the wee hours of the morning and then sleep in well past noon. she NEVER woke her children when they were little. she did put them to bed by 8 or 9pm though. anyway i always thought that was a great idea. i wonder why i'm still functioning best in "teenager mode" (staying up late and getting up late) and I really wonder WHEN my children will start sleeping in late!! That would be SUCH A BLESSING!! <BR/><BR/>All FOUR of my kids get up before 7am.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
