Computer/Console games with your kids

LJ - sounds like you're giving up a very fine carrot. Something along the lines of "if your room is clean and the bed made, you may play the computer games for up to one hour a day". Then set the timer and stick to it. If you warn him ahead of time that whining means losing the priviledge for the rest of the week, I'd bet you wouldn't see whining the next week.

Just a thought. As always, you know your kids better then anyone else does.
