In our house (note this is different from their father's house..where they have a number of game systems and area able to play whenever they want(which frustrates me to no end but I am not there so I am not able to change it))... In our house they have to earn Wii time.. by doing extra stuff around the house that we don't actually ask them to do and if they go into time out, they will lose some if not all of their accrued wii time...
