Beginning of 2012, I made a conscious decision that I want my children to be homeschooled. After one year I'm on  that stage wondering if I made the right decision...

Why homeschool?

Computer Games Bring Out the Best and the Worst in  Your Child

My son Colin who is 11 years old is really good at playing League of Legends. He is so good that his friends are willing to pay him to play their accounts. Colin loves it when he is on top of his game. He high fives his friends and grins from ear to ear. I see him mentoring his younger brother on how to improve in the game. He is generally a helpful young man when his game is good.  

But since League of Legends is a game of team work, he needs other players to work with him, and when his team mates don't play as well, that's when Colin loses his temper and goes beast mode. 

He yells at his friend or brother, calls them "weak!" and types on his keyboard but sounds like he's hitting it. It is the same when he is using the mouse. I call him out regarding his behaviour and I see him make a scowling face. 

This morning I am greeted by Colin and his big brother arguing over a game. Apparently Colin has left the game without finishing it because he was sick of his brother not playing as good as he is. His brother was upset that Colin was not a good sport. Losing his cool, big brother gave up, went to his room and slammed the door shut.

What's a mother to do in this case?

Ground them.

Ground them from playing anymore League of Legends until they get their attitudes straight.
