Handipoints lets parents set a list of tasks for their child, like washing the dishes, and kids have some fun online in the process.

Great Idea for 'modern' parenting

I am a joint-custody parent - and even though my ex and I have a good working parenting relationship - I can really use this in a joint household.

more examples of spoiling kids

If you want your kids to do chores, they should do it and not expect gifts and presents beyond their weekly allowance (if even that). Lets stop turning our kids into little prince and princesses who feel like they are entitle to stuff just because they did something that they are suppose to be doing in the first place. They end up becoming spoil brats who in turn become spoiled adults who thinks their every little problem is a major catastrophe. "oh my god, I still don't have an ipod like all my friends that is sooooooo unfair and cruel".

Error correction

Gaia online is not for those younger than 13.
It is pg13 and is definitely NOT for children.
If you do not want your children seeing mature content please be a parent and do not let them join until they are older.
