Lol...omg. That's funny as hell. Truthfully it depends on if the kids are old enough to understand the joke and laugh at it...but they wouldnt be going to bed at 9 pm. If u want to scare the kids into sleeping, tell them if they dont, the monsters under the bed will eat them....or if you actually want them to sleep, tell them no more presents on their birthdays & such.

Each child requires a different amount of sleep. My theory is to see how hard it is for them to wake up. They should be waking up refreshed and with little dificulty. If so, then the time they go to sleep is fine (or even later). However, if you need a garden hose to wake them up, then go to bed earlier.\n\nPersonally, I always needed very little sleep and never had a problem waking up. In high school, I typically went to bed between midnight to 1:00am and would wake up at 6:00am, often before the alarm. In my later years (aka today) I typically retire for the night at 2am and am up by 6:00am. (Speaking of which, it is almost bedtime)

i don't think it's right to be physically corrective with anyone else's kid\n\nnot effective...i would rather get two slaps than spend two hours in detention

My one and two year old do the same thing...A lot of people sleep with their eyes open ...While freaky to look at...it is not harmful or mean that anything is amiss.

tell your child to stay up late and see if the tooth fairy is really real.That way you not saying yes or no allow them to see and decide on their own.and you won't be the bad guy for lying to your child

It's the same in my house- 4 kids- the oldest is 9.  I'm glad my son still has some of his innocence..   Some 9 yr olds are hardened  by life by now. He'll find out soon enough I just hope it doesn't crush him or the kids at school are not mean to him.   Merry Christmas.

Sure do. My daughter won't go to sleep unless I lend her the tiny fairy that lives in my ear, to sleep the night in her ear. I have to wisper very quietly to her to watch over my girl for the night...since fairies ears are so tiny. With a fairy, you never need a night light, and the kids sleep through the night peacefully.\n\nHow did you get your Avatar to show your entire picture, instead of just the head like everyone elses? Contact me for this. I'm really curious!

YES 6:30 every night is mine in a family of 5 with football games and practice and camp, cheer leading games,practices, and camp, my family stays busy we have no actual time to stop and smell the roses so to say 2 years ago we started having a attitude problem with my oldest son (13 at the time) i decided then to start the family dinner and also a family game night the attitude disappeared within a month it gives you time to talk about things bothering you with out all the distraction that are common in families. We call it unplugged time no electronics allowed due family game night and none during dinner. Establish a good time for you and run with it you will be happy!

will you let all the kids play equal amounts of time.\n\nIf the answer is yes... that is all you really need to know.

kids are studpid... so, it's not wrong to lie to them... too young to understand lies... i tell my kids the tooth fairey will take away teeth from their mouths  \nwhile they sleep if they don't brush and floss each night before going to bed... seems to work... dumb kids

Wow, where do you live?  Hehe.  Um, I don't know what you can tell your kids other than you really think they should find alternatives to hanging out in dark, secluded areas.  You should know that if they are old enough to go out and do things like that, that if you forbid them to do something, if they have a rebellious nature, they may do what they want - against your wishes and better judgement.  \n\nMaybe instead of trying to preach to them you could provide them with an alternative like your driveway, or backyard to hang out in and do whatever it is that they're doing in these spooky places.  It's never too late to teach your kids about entertaining people in the home.  That's something we don't do enough of in our culture anymore, as far as I'm concerned.  (That isn't to say bad things couldn't happen in the home either, but at least then they would be in a more controlled environment, and you [if you were there] could see who was coming and going...)\n\nOther than that, I don't know what else to tell you other than maybe to give them a curfew which doesn't permit these types of activities.  \n\nGood luck.

unless you are like 12, then its really a corny idea. and then, its pretty corny. \nJust tell him.

I have mixed feelings about this. My son is in the 5th grade, and he's quite innocent, so it seems a little early to expose him to the topic (this year). On the other hand, he makes some random comments that he has heard from other classmates, who probably have older siblings, and seems to be at the threshold of being exposed to facts and half-truths. So doing it in a formal fashion is probably better. \n\n4th grade is too early, in my opinion.
