What a great idea, and in the long run I bet your son found out that playing with his sister won't give him cooties.<BR/>My youngest is entering his junior year of high school. He had a lot of trouble in 9th grade, and we got some help for him. But his big motivation to keep up with his studies is that if he maintains good grades, he gets the game at his discretion. (He's 17, btw.) I rarely need to remind him to do his homework or study, and when I do it's, "don't forget, you lose the game if you fail anything." <BR/>If I may jump in to defend games...he has played some relating to history, such as WWII, and I swear the kid has learned more history from that than in school. And almost every day, he's asking me what some word or another means. So...they aren't all bad! (And they can get a kid to interact with his siblings, LOL!)Mom2furhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09919967314390699344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11497068.post-85285701924995989062007-08-08T12:29:00.000-04:002007-08-08T12:29:00.000-04:00Don't you just love it when good parenting <I>slips</I> out of your mouth.
