How late do you allow your kids to sleep in on the w/ends?

[JamBrit]

When my daughter was younger and up until she was about 15, she would wake up early on the weekends (or I'd wake her up)and we'd have breakfast together....since she turn 16 and going on 17, she prefers to sleep until all one/two o'clock in the afternoon. When I cuss about her sleeping so late and shi fi get up and do housework, she doesn't understand why I have a problem with her sleeping late and explains the housework will be done when she gets up and it doesn't make any difference if she wake up at 10am and do it or later. Also, when she stay at her father's house, he lets her sleep until whatever time she pleases. Mi a wonder if mi a mek a big deal outta nutten? It just badda mi when shi a sleep an there's things to do....I know old school Jamaicans would not stand for this.

It's biological

But now, it is the severity and prevalence of teens' sleep deprivation that is causing a growing concern among researchers, educators and parents.

Today, researchers such as Carskadon say the real culprit is a biological tendency toward later waking hours among 13- to 19-year-olds, combined with school and work schedules that are out of sync with teen biological rhythms.

While everyone requires different amounts of sleep to function at peak performance levels, studies show that teenagers need at least 9.25 hours of shut-eye to function properly in school, compared to the 8 hours of snoozing needed by adults.

Re: How late do you allow your kids to sleep in on the w/end

She's old enough to sit down with you and work out a compromise or a solution to the problem (cleaning house). I would ask her one evening over dinner to help me solve a dilemma - I like the house cleaned before Noon on Saturdays and I want you to get your needed sleep like how you do at your dad's house. Maybe she'll suggest something like cleaning the bathrooms on Friday night or maybe you van put that to her. You get the idea - make her part of the decision-making with respect to keeping house clean. This will also get her ready for college dorm life where she will have to contribute to communal living.

When I was a teen in Ja I would offer to do my chores on the Friday evening so I could spend the day at school friend's house. Mommy was ok about it and I felt very responsible when she accepted my offer.
