We've all been through this ... well those of us with grown up kids  anyway !!!

Nowhere does anyone teach you how to be a parent !!!  You learn as you go along. I was talking to a polish friend a few weeks back who could not understand the problem ... we suddenly realised the difference ... in Poland the Grandparents are THERE and take a great deal of time and interest in both kid and grand kid throughout .. offering support and help .. in UK the grand kids are seen for an hour a mopnth .. or sometimes as a baby sitting service .. but the "extended family" no longer exists, so little "experience" is actively passed on.

Denying privilages does work, but hiding toys seems to make little difference

If they (the kids mentioned earlier) are "not tired and can't sleep", then you have to believe them and take their word for it. So as a good responsible parent, what can you do? Simple, make them tired!! Make them get dressed in jogging kit (or the likes) and accompanied by a parent take them for a run, a long run, a long hard run! Normally after the first night they give in, if not and they like it then it could turn into helping you lose the pounds you gained over Christmas. Anyway, make them tired by either exercising the body, or the brain by reading a book.

Good luck  :y
