Now that the kids are going off to school, it's time to tear the little monsters away from the video games and force them to buckle down on their studying, right?
Right. As in "Yeah, right, like you're really going to get them to stop playing video games."
Be not discouraged, parents. Instead of banning video games completely, you can turn it into a family activity. You still have to do family Quality Time during the school year, right? Cooking Mama, the video game we've mentioned before that lets you cook without having to get into the kitchen, has a new version out for the Nintendo Wii called Cooking Mama Cook-off. What a great way to train your kids so that in a few months, they can cook dinner for themselves. Of course, when they head off to class, you can use the Wii to do a little workout before you have to rush out to pick them up from soccer practice.
P.S. Nintendo Wiis are hard to get a hold of, but you can win one from CoolHunting and ThisNext.

I'm eagerly awaiting news of Cooking Mama 2!
