There is so much to be gained from camping. Getting creative with <a HREF="http://www.campingroadtrip.com/camping-smore-receipes" rel="nofollow">S'mores</a>, building campfires, doing things outdoors, putting yourself to the test outdoors, spending time just talking with friends and family. We really should have a "Let's go Camping" week, which encourages first timers to get out there and try it out. Once you find a great campground (easy to do here www.CampingRoadTrip.com) all you have to do is pack the car, pack the kids, pack the food and have a good time! You have my vote on this too!

I was telling a friend the other day that I thought that if the batteries went dead and the electricity went off, half of these kids wouldn't have idea one of other things to do. I will be the first to admit that I am a computer illerate but I try and learn something everyday but I balance my day by doing things outside and reading as well. I agree totally!

]]> Comment on Bedtime Struggles with Tweens and Teens by Tim http://www.yourparentinginfo.com/bedtime-struggles-with-tweens-and-teens/comment-page-1/#comment-899 Tim Thu, 07 Jan 2010 04:04:18 +0000 http://www.yourparentinginfo.com/?p=347#comment-899 I have been reading up on this topic since I am a relatively new stepfather to a now 4 yr old girl, a14yr boy and 17yr girl. For the teens, the posts say that setting a bedtime is defined as possibly contributing to teen depression and the lack of sleep associated with no mandated bedtimes is recently linked to depression formally and just obnoxious teen behavior in general. We had to be upstairs in our rooms by 10pm and asleep by 11pm in my parents' house after I was 15 and is probably true today. When my wife and I go to their house today it is pretty clear the show is shutting down at 10pm and that is ok. What I do not hear is the reasonableness of parents saying that 10pm is the bedtime and that there are other ways for teens to learn self-management and self-discipline. What about the parents' need for sleep and the need to monitor the activities of tennagers in this media age? I do not go to sleep until the older kids are upstairs, and in their rooms there are no tv's, cell phones or computers. As of now what happens is 11pm on school nights and 1 on weekends and it is too late for me and my needs. I am working on the situation but as a single mother for many years these trends were already started when we met 3 years ago. All I say is that it is not an easy issue but having kids go off to college believing a vampire lifestyle will work is responsible as a parent. I also see that about 50% of our kids peers have no bedtime and it makes it harder to get compliance willingly. When our 17 yr old wouldn't take a job unless it started after noon on the weekends because she wants to stay up late I knew it was time for action.

There is another mistake parents do make when going for shopping, carrying along their children to the toys section. If you had not planned to spend any money on toys, you would end up buying lots of toys or a very expensive toy unwillingly because that son or daughter will do anything (that can cause embarrassment) in order to get that toy he/she wants.
