Description of discipline technique:
The simplest way to do it is what I call "the age limit". For children under five, bedtime should be at 8:00 or as needed. Once they start school, you add fifteen minutes for each year.

5 - 8:00

6 - 8:15

7 - 8:30

8 - 8:45

9 - 9:00

10 - 9:15

11 - 9:30

By the time the kids are twelve or thirteen, they should be allowed to regulate their own bedtime as long as they are getting enough sleep.

Punishment: As a punishment, time should be reduced. Such as if their normal bedtime is 9:30, they must go to bed at 9:00.

Appropriate age group(s):
All ages
