[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't he just lose the Wii if he whines? "We're doing X." If he whines or is a PITA, he can't play on the Wii that day. He can adjust his attitude and maybe play the next day (or whenever he would normally be allowed).[/quote] Because she made him earn it in the first place. Not fair then to take it away. OP, you don't really give him much opportunity to spend the time he earns. Why not let him spend some of his earned time during the week. My kids are allowed screen time (their choice) during the week if they have time, but at best they have about half hour a couple of times a week. I don't make mine earn it either because they are good about getting outside and riding their bikes. The rest of the stuff you mention has to be done before they can get screen time.[/quote]
