GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con

Over the past few years, homework and video games have worked against each other. Not intencionally of coruse but for some strange reason kids choose games over the shear enjoyment of homework. I dont know why but it just is. Parents complain about kids not doing homework and spending to much time on games. Well i have come up with a cunning plan.

Well everyone knows about how game warnings on teh cover say to take a break every 45 mins for around 15 mins. Well why not increase to break period to around say 45 mins. In this time the kids or adults....if there are any....will do there chores, studies and HOMEWORK. dun, dun duuun. This gives children a sort of incentive that isnt too harsh. For example - taking a childrens xbox 360 away until he finishes his homework. This does not work the majority of the time as the kids mind will be on the 360 and will probably throw things and tantrums dependnding on the age. If there older than 11 theyll most likely yell and try to badger you or argue you into submission. My way gives children a little sip of what they like so it still motivates them to get through the homework because they know that the insentive is there.

I supose but here in britian you don't have o mention take a break every 45 minutes... I take a break every hour or two, sometimes like when playing Metroid Prime I just go for 10 hours solid!Another way to get them to do homework is bribe them, so give them a Pepsi or a pound every time they choose it over games.
