Bedtime/Waking up for school

At bedtime I use a similar consequence/reward method as I do for curfew.  I didn't have to implement this until my youngest son started school.  The bedtime we have used is 9:00 for kindergarten through 3rd grade, 9:30 for 4th thorough 6th grade, and 10:00 for 7th thorough 9th grade.  For the grades 10th and above I use the general rule of "As long as you are on time for school and your grades are good, use your best judgment for your bedtime."  This may not work for many children, but it has worked just fine for us with minimal problems.

IF there are problems getting up in the morning then bedtime is adjusted according to the curfew rule listed in the previous posting. I give my children two "snooze" warnings and then the clock starts and for every minute you go over not wanting to get up, that night you go to bed a minute earlier.
