From my parenting perspective:

We must prepare our children for responsibility. He must appreciate what we, as parents, give him. And to do that, I think it is best we setup a credit system. He can accumulate credits (1 credit = $1) using the money he EARNED from us by doing chores, getting good grades, doing good homeworks, and etc.. He must be taught early that nothing are free in this world. He must earn it by good works, which is defined by our perspectives. Remember, the older the child is, the harder to teach them. Therefore, it is much easier if you start early. 11 years old is a bit late but still before puperty. I suggest you start doing the reward system. When he get the Wii, play family games with him and your hu*****and to further bond with you son. This way, you can develop stronger relationship with him and make sure that Wii will not harm his homeworks/grades and any extra-curricular activities performances.
