<p>Well I know for myself basically I have to put some restrictions (no T.V. during weekdays, 20 min of reading/day etc). But I always leave Fridays open as my official no study/homework day. So I either go out with friends or catch up on tv that I missed during the week (thank god for DVR) or just sleep (I defintely need to work on my amount/night). Obviously if ur son or daughter is serious about getting into a good college and getting a good education in high school, then setting limits shouldn’t be a problem. Since different people have different tolerance levels, see if a sort of agreement or plan on what exactly is expected can be made. I think the key here is strategery and planning, if a kid is supposed to juggle the luxury of being a kid as well as working hard.</p>
<p>hope that helped!</p>
