Should I Let My Kids Sleep In?

The sun hasn't yet risen on a Monday morning. You are alone in the kitchen with the first cup of coffee, and the whole house is still dark. Down the road, another homeschool mom has already been up an hour — stove lit, list started, the day well underway. Last night your nine-year-old was still wide awake at 11:40. So here is the question you turn over in the quiet: do you wake them, or do you let them sleep? This book is not here to tell you the answer. It is here to show you why two reasonable, loving mothers can look at the same morning and do the exact opposite — and why neither one is lazy or legalistic. Your Enneagram type shapes what you are really defending when you fight for the 5 a.m. start or the slow morning. Rising at a reasonable hour is good. But it matters enormously why you are getting up — or not.
