teenage curfew for my 15 daughter?

Answer 1

11:00 on weekends, 8pm on school nights.

Answer 2

Make sure that you stick with whatever curfew you establish—write it down if you need to. And don’t let your teenager talk you into changing it “just this once.” If a special occasion warrants an additional hour, be sure that you aren’t granting more than one exception every few weeks or month. If you are, you should re-figure your curfews because consistency is much more important than specific times.

Answer 3

Are you asking should you impose a curfew? The answer is yes. Even good kids get sidetracked if they have too much unsupervised time on their hands.

If you are asking what time the curfew should be; then that depends on you and the circumstances in your town and with your family. Some towns have their own curfews for kids under the age of 18. Personally, I would not want my 15 year old daughter out after dark.

Answer 4

We used a time to leave by. What I mean is my kids had to leave Joey's house by 9:30 pm ....reason: by age 16 they will be driving and the thought that my kid would be speeding down the road to make it home to a made up curfew scared me. Of course, if Joey only lives two minutes away.... arriving at 10 is not an option. I also used a progressive curfew. 9pm at age 15, 9:30 at 16 and so on. I was flexible if I had sufficient contact and event information. I also made it a habit to buy a pizza or wings and just show up to drop it off from time to time. If the grades drop all bets are off and the curfew is 7:30. Last thought, curfew is not going to be one of your bigger battles.... kids these days are involved in lots of activities at school and mine also worked...they were out late doing those things most nights. If she gets involved in some things that are supervised you will have a much easier go of it. Good Luck to You.

Answer 5

Sweetie,it is your house and it is your rules.Ultimately,you must decide on a reasonable curfew for her,with her input.Hear her out and compromise.However,i would keep it on a week day/weekend time schedule.Such as,on a school night,her be in at 9:00-9:30,this will give her a little time to do her homework if she has not done so before she left.On weekends 10:30-11:00,i wouldnt allow her to stay out past midnight.Make sure you know who she is going out with,and where they will be in case of an emergency.She may whine and complain but ultimately it is your decision.She is under your roof,and you pay the bills so you make the choices.Good luck hun and have a good night.

Answer 6

Answer 7

I'm almost afraid to answer as I am 55 and probably am stricter than these days. One thing that helped me a lot was that when mine went to high school at age 14, they had "open lunch" which meant that they could leave campus. I realized I had no control over this new freedom, so I told them what I thought and hoped for and then let go. I think I'm saying we come to a point where we have to relax a bit with them or they will rebel. I think 11 would be good, but depending on the circumstances. When my kids were in high school I asked them what they thought their curfew should be and what their punishment should be and they always set their curfew earlier than I did and their punishments harder so I let them do it as each occasion arose.

Answer 8

Do you have 15 daughters or do you have a 15 year old daughter? First if you have 15 daughters you might want to have a curfew on your self.
Now assuming the logical using Akim's razor... Absolutely. Shes 15 and dumb enough to get pregnant. I would want her in by 8PM on school night and if she is going to a school function with friends by 11:00 PM on Friday or Saturday. If she is going to a movie you can easily look on line and see when the movie ends. Then give her time accordingly. Unless you want another dumb pregnant 15 year old in about 16 years.
Be the parent they want and need that.

Answer 9

When my daughter and son were fifteen, the rule around here was #1. You got to go to the show, bowling, the mall, and what ever else came up, only with a group of friends..............
#2.. Usually one of the other parents and I would take turns driving ...Sometimes I would take them and pick them up, Other times I would just pick them up....Whatever we decided.
#3..Since they were with a group of friends the curfew time was they had to leave the place where they were by 10:30 PM. Meaning the parent would pick them up at that place at 10.:30..So usually they were dropped off somewhere by 6:30..Plenty of time to see a movie and get a bite to eat,,,...Or go shopping or window shopping and get a bite at the mall if they were all girls,..My son and his friends did guy things....skateboarding, bike riding, what ever they chose usually....Once they reached the dreadful age of 16(drive) The curfew was only 11:00...... to be home by 11......Only 2 kids in car with driver...Once they goofed off no more friends in car...A fifteen year old I think is too young to go out alone, unless of course they went to a friends house two to three houses away....My kids had to call me when they got somewhere, and when they were leaving (if they were driving..)It is for their own protection because there are so many murderers and mental people out there...good luck..

Answer 10

I don't think she should have one. If you trust her that is. I'm 15 and don't have a curfew because my parents have my 4 older siblings (who're all in college) and other important things to worry about. They kinda realize that I'm responsible for my actions and that's basically it. If they gave me a curfew though, I would follow it.

My parents have said that if they were to give me one, it'd be anywhere from 10:30-11:30. And that's for weekdays and weekends.

Answer 11

11:00 pm Max on weekends only no dating during the week. A 15 year old should only group date and not date alone with a boy. Try Having get-together's at your home so you can be there and get to know her friends. Have other parents take turns having there home used for such gatherings. Have something they can do so it doesn't become just a necking Party. It's a lot of work but have one each weekend at someones home.with chaperons and with fun things to do. Remember they come as a group and leave as a group and no one on one. Children are a lot of work but she worth it They may resist at first but they will get into it and have good times
