Write Blogs and Play XBoxs

Video games are crazy. This industry 'teach' children to understand mostly the very bad of our world: violence and wars. Most of the games are full of violence, some of them from success movies such as starwars.

However, our struggle to avoid xbox -- one kind of video games-- from Elkana and Farhan, failed. Xboxs, play stations, and nintendos are anywhere in our neighbors' houses, in after school care centres, in holiday programs, in school children talks, in TVs, movies, and supermarkets.

Fuih, yes. We have one. But now, I have many good reasons to keep it. Among others are learning about disciplines, learning to read (the instructions), time values, money values, and the most important one is encouraging Elka and Farhan to write. "No eat no play" and "no write/read no play" have become their customs. Writing becomes so enjoying for them as they know the reward they will get: an hour playing xbox. Now they are enjoying to write in blogs too because they see their works on the internet. That's why this blog have few short stories of Elka and Farhan, and Ardhiya (Elka and Farhan's friend), who came to play xbox at home. Yes, the rule "no write no xbox" is for everyone including guests!

Xboxs and blogs make my life easier.
