SENSE & SENSITIVITY - Mom needs
to resign from wake-up duty
by Harriette Cole
DEAR HARRIETTE: I completely dis-
agree with your advice to the mom who
had difficulty getting her 15-year-old
daughter out of bed for school every morn-
ing. Your suggestions for staying in the
room, sanctions, etc., are making the mom
___r__________j 0____________________ not
the mom's!
My suggestion to Mom is to back off!
Tell your daughter that you will no longer
be responsible for waking her up every
morning. Don't ask her every night what
time she needs to get up. Buy her the alarm
clock of her choice, and offer to collaborate
on strategies that she might use to get up
(alarm clock across the room, snooze but-
ton, etc.). It becomes your daughter's
responsibility to get herself to school on
time. And when she does sleep in and is
late to school, do not say a word. She will
have the natural consequences of whatever
the high school's policies are for lateness.
Soon she will get the message, I promise.
Before you know it, your daughter
will be away from home in college and will
have to do this herself. The time to learn is
NOW. — Tough Love, Chicago
DEAR TOUGH LOVE: Your point is a
good one that several other readers have
echoed — namely, that this teenager needs
to become responsible for herself. A couple
of other readers thought the teen might
have a health condition that needs to be
addressed. One reader shared that his
long-sleeping son actually had mononucle-
osis, which contributed to his lethargy.
I did some additional research and
learned that, according to a Stanford
University study, teenagers need at least
eight hours of sleep per night to be highly
functioning. When they do not get enough
sleep, they often do poorly in school and
do all the work, when it's the daughter's
responsibilitv to net to school on time —
suffer behavioral challenges and ultimately
health challenges. See this article for more
details: www2.providence.org/wallawal-
la / providence-st-mary-medical-center /
sleep-disorders / Pages / Teens-and-Sleep.
aspx.
So, for any parent who has an overly
sleepy teen, you may want to monitor how
much sleep she or he is actually getting
and take your teen for a physical to make
sure all is well.
DEAR HARRIETTE: I was cleaning
my son's room (he's 10) when I came upon
a note from his teacher that he should have
given to me. It was a request for a meeting
with the teacher that I missed because I
didn't know about it.
I was outraged. I didn't say anything
right away to him because I wanted to cool
off. What is a constructive way to address
this? — Mad Mom, Denver
DEAR MAD MOM: Show the note to
your son and ask him why he didn't give it
to you. Explain that it is his responsibility
to immediately give you anything the
teacher sends home to you. Begin the prac-
tice of reviewing your son's homework and
checking his bag with him to make sure
everything is in order.
Contact the teacher and reschedule the
meeting, and let the teacher know you just
got the note. Suggest that the teacher also
email you or call to ensure that you get any
future messages.

Astrograph - Thursday, Nov. 8, 2012
by Bernice Bede Osol
Like most Scoipios, you
should be rather fortunate in
terms of your material interests
during the coming months.
A number of new, wonderful
channels could open up that
would instantly increase your
earnings if you take advantage
of them.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22)
— There arc strong indica-
tions that you may learn about
someone who is strongly
attracted to you. If you'd
welcome a new relationship,
check things out.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov.
23-Dec. 21) — The financial
trends seem to be much more
stable than they were yester-
day. If there is a fiscal matter
that needs to be discussed or
revised, do so now.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19) — Someone who loves
you as much as you love him
or her wouldn't mind hearing
you express your feelings,
especially if you haven't been
as demonstrative as usual.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
19) — Do more detective work
regarding an arrangement or
a relationship that you deem
dubious. It could be far more
beneficial than you think,
which you'll quickly discover.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20)
— You can gain the support
of friends regarding a deeply
important issue if you discuss
it with them on a one-on-one
basis. Don't try to sell every-
one on your plan at the same
time.
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
— Think of your hard work on
a difficult project as a labor of
love, and your toil will seem
much easier. A positive, happy
attitude will enhance your
abilities.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
— There is a possibility that
many of you Bulls who are un-
attached could rekindle a past
romance at this time. From out
of the blue, you might encoun-
ter or heai- from an old flame.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
— One of your greatest assets
is your ability to finalize
historically tricky situations
with a minimum of fuss. Fin-
ish with the old before starting
the new.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
— An arrangement you enter
into should be long-lasting
and of equal benefit to both
parties. This will be especially
important if you're dealing
with a member of the opposite
gender.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -
Should you be in need of an
expensive service requiring
an expert, shop around before
committing. There's a good
chance you'll save yourself
some money.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
— Regardless of the involve-
ments you might have,
you're likely to make a good
impression on all those you
encounter. Bask in your well-
deserved popularity.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)
— A better understanding of
what is best for you, as well as
for your entire family, can be
achieved. Bring any construc-
tive, common interests to the
forefront for maximum effect.
