sleepy:
Same for myDD1. She loves to read and relaxes by doodling or writing letters to friends. Although has stopped music which she has lost interest in, she is still pursuing interest in dance. Think she has enough on her plate.
My dd's number 1 hobby is reading not music. She's a giantic bookworm, reads anything from encyclopedia to reader digests to survival series comics. I'm not sure if there's such as term as over-reading although she certainly seems to be way too engrossed whenever she reads, to the extent of blocking out my voice. So her incentive is if she manages to complete homework quickly (no dilly dally), she can read as much as she likes to wind downCDE:
I think kids need something else beside study to channel their boredom and divert their attention for a while, thus gaining a fresher felling when they go back on revision.

Not sure if parents here share the same experience as myself.
My DD is in p5 this year. Starting school, she already has loads of homework. Initially, she was full of energy to complete her homework. Subsequently, the homework became about 3-4 hours daily and on the very tough OnSponge maths questions, English to find annotations from papers, spelling test on phrases, etc… She starts to get frustrated… As the time goes by… (and it’s only Feb now)… she is starting to slag… Not paying attention in class, completing her homework anyhow… Totally turned off…
Quite worried about her… Spoken to her and she sometimes ok, sometimes not…
Think combination of the stress of work together with puberty coming???
Can any experienced mother with DD share some tips on how to manage this stage? -

Mine 8 hours too. Supposed to be in bed by 9pm but they will dilly dally come out to kiss me hug me then kiss again hug again and then my kids will pillow talk to each other in bed so by the time they actually fell asleep will be 10pm or so & need wake up at 6:15am.
I always complain their bedtime regime is way too long, took an hour!
