Parent defends 9 p.m. bedtime for her 16-year-old

Original: My 16-year-old still has a 9 p.m. bedtime. It's great for our whole family.

A parent is drawing attention for enforcing a 9 p.m. bedtime on her 16-year-old, saying the strict rule benefits the whole family rather than just the teenager. The claim has sparked broader debate about how much independence adolescents should have and whether firm sleep routines help or hurt teenagers' development.

Why now: It touches a nerve in the ongoing parenting debate over strictness versus teen autonomy.
