[QUOTE="ksm, post: 713955, member: 12511"] I don't know if it would work now, but when my kids were younger, we used a kitchen timer. If they got 30 minutes on the computer, we would set a timer... Then when it went off, depending on the game...5 more minutes to finish up. That way, the timer interrupted them...and not me. Sometimes we would do chores... And set the timer to see if they could pick up toys before the alarm went off... A little childish for the age of your son, but worked for mine. You will probably need to find a time to talk with him, and explain changes...and maybe rewards for those changes...or consequences if things don't change. Good luck. Ksm [/QUOTE]
