[quote=Anonymous]Well, we started out with rules like no gaming during the school week when he was 6th and 7th grade. 8th grade now and no rules except that if he doesn’t get As, the computer is gone except for school work until he brings it back up. DS is easily capable of As, but if I had a different kid where grades were harder and they were trying, I would set the bar differently, like Bs, etc. It’s his incentive to get everything done quickly and correctly. It’s been a great motivator this year. He even plans ahead and does extra homework on certain days (even a week ahead of schedule) so he has free time to game when something new is coming out in one of his games. He also does a travel sport so that keeps him active and cuts down on some of the gaming. Works for us - no arguing or fighting over limits- but may not work for everyone. [/quote]
