Mom's 'leave by' curfew rule for teens sparks discussion
Original: Mom explains why she gives her teens a ‘leave by’ curfew instead of an ‘arrive by’ curfew’
A mother is explaining her unusual approach to teen curfews: instead of requiring her teenagers to arrive home by a set time, she tells them when they must leave wherever they are. The idea is that knowing when to depart is more predictable than gauging travel time. The parenting tip is drawing attention and debate about whether it encourages responsibility or simply delays the real curfew.
Why now: Parents are debating whether this curfew method teaches teens better time management than a traditional arrive-by rule.
