And what time they go to bed? Especially during the week.
My DD is 12 and unfortunately, she seems to be having a very emotional and grumpy journey towards her teens.
She has nice friends etc and doing well at school....but she's SO moody at home. I know it's normal....she's always been "dramatic" about things...so when she was younger, if she got a common cold, it was the END OF THE WORLD and SHE WAS IN AGONY.
That type.
She's lovely when she's lovely but a lot of her time after school is spent pouring scorn on her younger sister and being moody and snappy.
Unless she's allowed to sit on her phone for hours on end which she will do...she watches shows on Netflix mainly.
She won;t join any out of school clubs...she did ballroom till last year but now has lost interest...I've offered her a choice of any club or activity but no...she hates them all.
She occassionally spends some time sewing...she does read...and goes out on Saturdays to meet her mates etc....but is this it?
I've decided this week that during the week, she can only have 2 hours on the phone and has to be off it by 6.00pm. She tends to go to sleep at about ten pm.
Does this sound ok? Normal? What are your rules? I'm hoping that by reducing her screen time she will be a bit more cheerful!
