[quote=ThatSmileyFaceGuy][quote=Anonymous]why don't you sit him down and say "we're tired of the groaning. If there's groaning during other activities, there will be no Wii." That's the stick. Here's the carrot: "You can play for one hour on Saturday and one hour on Sunday. I suggest you do it first-thing while we're still sleeping." (forget about the reward strategy since it isn't working.) [b]You've got it set so he's earned a reward and then you are telling him he can't have it. [/b]It isn't for you to decide whether a hike or an hour with the wii is more fun for him. [/quote] This, You set some rules and he followed them and earned his reward and now you tell him he can't have that reward. Just think of how you feel when you've been looking forward to something all week and then your weekend plans have to change due to someone else. Perhaps if you set aside his time ( or even play as a family ) the moaning will cease. [/quote]
