You can't tell adults to adjust to their child because today's adult believe their children know how much the need OR that they don't need nearly as much as they actually need. I'm surprised that kids make it to school the next day at all, I do childcare and parents allow their kids to go to bed all hours of the night. They do not connect the behavior problems with sleep at all even though the kids don't nearly get enough. They are not small adults the need more sleep because they are not only more active than adults but need sleep to recharge their bodies to learn and grow.
