How do I regulate my kids computer and video game time without a fight ?

Answer 1

There is always a fight with kids when you try to regulate everything. But you are the father and you decide what is best. Make up a reasonable schedule and inforce it. Know that the fights are inevitable, but don't allow the fights to get out of hand. Let them know who is the boss and that there will be no arguing about it

Answer 2

First prioritize by making the computer available to all kids for homework first, then allocate more computer game time to the best student of the week or month --- it encourages the lessor student to improve in order to gain more game time.

Answer 3

Get the power general. Then tell them that you can not change it when it shuts down. I know cause I have two teen girls that love to chat on IM. It works and there is no fight after the first one. Sorry you will have to fight one more time.
YOu can get the power general at buy.com
