School holidays

[1shotcappuccino]

Just wanted to ask how your 12/13 year olds spend their mornings if they get up early? DS is up at 6.30/7 every day and then is either watching You Tube or PS4. We go out to activities about 10am but it's a few hours each morning to fill.

Mine tend to go to bed later in the holidays so would never be up that early!

Ditto! No activities, up later than that and most of the day on Xbox/in the garden playing football/watching YouTube/playing piano. It’s holiday so he can spend it doing things he enjoys.

I do take annual leave in the longer holidays so we can do stuff as well and he hangs out with his best mate some days too. Plus he goes to camp. But I wouldn’t want to schedule too much of his free time. Term times are busy enough as it is!

At 12 DSS was exactly like that - up really early and gaming for several hours before the rest of the house for up. Wasn't too bad, left the rest of the day free. Then he turned 13 and pretty much overnight he changed into a teenager and body clock changed and wasn't ever out of bed before 10am.

Yep YouTube for 14yo DC. 16yo stays in bed.

DS (12) is on his tablet from 7am in the holidays. DS (15) is bed until noon unless he's got plans/working/playing rugby.

Completely agree with crazycrofter It’s holiday so he can spend it doing things he enjoys.

So yes, Ds2 13 does this too. Up before 7 and then gaming/watching YouTube.

thanks everyone 😊
