HELP!!! How can you get to stay up later if you are a child?

Question

Help me stay up later. Please help me!

Answer 1

1.0 be really helpful around the gouse
2.0 watch a tv programme (that parents aprove of) that overruns just slightly after bed time
3.0 ask politely when the moment is right

Answer 2

My mum always made me go to bed much earlier than my friends who used to tease me about it, so if this is the case I understand how you feel. She did have my best interests at heart although it made me really mad at the time.

How you can get your mum or dad to let you stay up later depends on how old you are and how late you want to stay up. The best way is to have it agreed with them in advance ie. Be on your best behaviour and be helpful and polite all day (even if you find it boring), and ask if you can stay up later if you do some chores. If you mean you want to stay up later every night (within reason) you will have to show them how grown up you can be - I mean the good behaviour, doing your best at school and the helpful thing, not smoking or something silly like that. It works a treat!!! It's much easier to get parents to agree to you staying up later if it's not a school night too.

Good luck :)

Answer 3

If you help out around the house, I don't see why you can't stay up later. Persuade your parents that you can cope with the late nights by getting up at the right time in the morning and not kick-ing up a fuss. Good luck! I know you can do it!

Answer 4

Get up without being nagged, no last minute homework panics, help get any younger ones dressed and breakfasted. Then point out that you are obviously getting plenty of sleep so how about a bit later bedtime at weekends or to watch a favourite programme.

Answer 5

If you show that you can get up happily in the morning, do well at school, keep up with your homework and do your chores around the house then your parents should learn to trust you to stay up a bit later.

There's no point asking if you're not doing these things already - actions speak louder than words.

Answer 6

Have ypou tried asking and being good for your parents as a mum of 3 a quiet poliet non attention seaking child is one who stays up late and gets all the privlages or if you have a tv in your room go to bed early and watch it in bed

Answer 7

Ask your parents if you could stay up a little later since your growing up and need more time to do the things you want.If they say no just go to your room.Try doing things around the house to show your responsible

Answer 8

Watch your behaviour, take on extra chores around the house, and ask for a trial run on a later bed time. The idea is you need to proove that you won't be tired during the day, and school grades won't drop.

Answer 9

Easy.
be really polite to them all day, ask them how there day was clear the table after dinner just small things that make them smile tell them they look nice!
then sit down at put a sensiable programe on (the bbc is goo) one they approve of, it just runs over by 15 minutes, then when/if they tell you it's time for bed you swich it on to the news and tell them a fact about todays news and you just want to hear this stroy *they leave* *you watch what you want*!!!
or say your spell checking your assignment on the computer editting it......

Answer 10

it depends how old are you and what parents you have got, etc. Simply just be helpful and nice to them. Another thing you can start telling them before you want to stay let. So they will know about that and do not get shocked. Or you can say that you are staying in your friends house

Answer 11

Act VERY quiet.
Put the TV on and offer to make your parents tea/drink.
Come and sit next to them
After a while move away and sit in another chair
don't make a sound
soon if they is like my parents they will fall asleep
watch TV, do anything you want till they wake up
pretend you have been asleep as well!!!
