@Good spot taking the time to see/learn what your kids are doing in school. My experince is somewhat different but i guess we can all learn.

One thing i learnt very early on in schooling here in the West, is that if the teache has even the slightest inkling that you are not involved in your child then they will be 'abandoned' like you have never experineced before.From Halloween, to Easter bunnies to X-mas plays. we have been involved in making costumes all of us (me, wifey and ricdeelet) sometimes till past midnight, cutting newspapers, researching on the net (my wife and i are clueless in some of these things) but i kid you not it's fun and you learn alot.
During the X-mas costume "make-over" last year Ricdeelet told us xxx ( a dude in her class) told her to go for a sleep-over over the weekend as his folks will be away and their Nan (mboch equivalent) usually just sleeps all day!!!! WTFHell!! i almost chocked in my saliva. my point is the more you engage with them, the more they tell you. Ricdeelet tells us so much it's amazing how much you learn this sessions.(I have been a prop in a school skit, i worn 100m parents during sports day, she was sooooooo happy bragging rights galore. been also told Xy tried to kiss her like in the movies i mean this are 4 year olds!! nways i could go on and on but am sure you all get my point, engage them through and through in all their activites and they will tell you stuff including "dad has an ass" in one of their books!!

PSP is good, by i highly recommend Nintendo WII family..awesome piece of gaming from keeping fit, to racing to name it. We usually play the 3 of us saturday mornings racing cars. However always let her win, am known to crash always in the last corner and she screams with delight and what a sight when she wins !! After this she will clean her room, help wash the dishes et al.

PSP stands for Playstation Portable. It's basically a handheld PlayStation.

About the games, my brother! you have kibarua. You have to go to a shop, talk to the dealer and shortlist the games you think are okay. Go online and read about the games and review your shortlist. Go back to the shop with your reviewed shortlist and have a demonstration done and then buy the ones you narrow down on. But this will only work if all the parents in your neighbourhood and your kids school do the same. One of the parents fails to go through that process and his kid will be the one supplying the other kids with the 'juicier' games. The fellow running a cyber near your home will also be willing to sell your kid a bootlegged 'adult themed' game for as low as 100/=.

I guess what I'm trying to say is you are pretty much effed. Choose between banishing you kid to shagz and prayer. If you kid is among the 2% who actually listen to their parents [and internalize what they are saying], you can have a talk with him about the games.

Ha ha ha! I can only imagine what goes through a parents head when they discover about Grand Theft Auto! @Bwenyeye, take ricdees advice and buy a Nintendo Wii before your kid discovers a game called GOD OF WAR

@Kenyanlyrics,
I have confirmed. The name is God of War. What is on the games? From what he told me, it seemed like porn. Where can I buy the Nintendo or PS?
I have a lot of work to do. I am thankful that my son tells me anything.

High schools are rotten heard some gal confess that the guys do a 7 - 1 on u n its called rugby.
Shame shame on the society n for this everyone takes the blame the parents n teachers
