Hi Everyone:

I have a teen that has so much energy that she goes and goes.

In fact I don't think she would sleep at all if we did tell her "Lights out !" She would get a second wind and keep going.

Does anyone else have a teen like that?

How do you get your teen to understand their need for sleep. We have tried logical consequences (she does get that when she finally gets sick.)

We have tried watching what she eats after 6 pm. Now that she is a teen that is a bit more tricky.

We tell her about coke and sugar and self control, etc.

What ideas have you found that work? How long has they worked? Did your teen start a new pattern?

Thanks so much.
