Hey all. My DSD is going to be starting online school next week. She is almost 17 and is currently a junior. Any advice?
DH and I are making her do "school" from 8-2 each day so she doesn't think she can stay up all night...and then sleep in half of the day. Her bedtime will be 11:00 at the latest, with no phone after 10PM. She is not allowed to make or take phone calls during 8-2.
Also...we will be helping her work on getting her drivers license over the next few months (has VERY LITTLE drive time from when she was living with her mom) and she WILL be getting a job for probably 25 hours per week.
Any thoughts?
Suggestions?
