we were real game freaks. We kinda had everything from
Sega to Playstation to PS2. We were hooked on Tomb Raider,
Gran Turismo, Need for Speed (asyik berangan beli kereta only!),
the likes. When PS2 came, by that time we first got it was in year
2001 when it was still selling at RM1300 when it first came out.
By then, Tomb Raider had been upgraded as well.
Of course, the Sims came along.
Its no surprise that our children are game freaks as well.
Of course as parents they had to be controlled.
Sometimes they do drive us up the wall when
they become a wee bit degil! grrrrrr...........
Recently some system have been worked out for them.
Which is the Star Redemption system. This is based on
Star earnings (draw a star on their Drawing Board
whenever they earn it) where for every 5 stars, they
get to redeem one hour of PS2 session. This is to
encourage discipline as well for them to gain reward.
Some motivation there eh, the PS2. The things they do
for "a living" (to earn stars) are basically studies
of course, finish a few pages of sums with minimal
mistakes or no mistakes at all, do some comprehension,
help with dishes, help with laundry and with chores
around the house. This way, Mama/Mummy/Papa/Daddy
is happy and so are they (when they redeem their
5-stars for the hour-long of game session). Lately,
independence had been shown between them, tolerance,
less fighting/arguing and more discipline and the
stars are not redeemed immediatey sometimes. They tend
to just do it not for that sake! I'm so proud of
these babies o'mine.

******************************************************* These people normally updates Dana on their progress
as well and for today, that's how the email goes.
Heheh... ok, here's the deal.
I have always reminded my boy Daniel, if the other
kids are being rough and tough, please either:
1) tell teacher
or 2) defend yourself
or 3) balas balik.
Huhuu.. looks like he prefers the latter.
I reckon it wasnt serious because he said right after that he and the boy lined-up together after recess and are friends again. Why la kids nowadays are so kasar when they play
around with each other?. hmmm.....
