Making Smart Entertainment Choices for Your Kids
Summary:
Children in America are enthusiastic consumers of movies, music, and video games. However, not all entertainment is suitable for them. How can parents ensure that the latest movies, video games, or albums are appropriate for their children?Article:
Children are passionate about movies, music, and video games. Yet, not every option is suitable for them. As a parent, how can you ensure that your child's entertainment choices are appropriate?The Coalition of Entertainment Retail Trade Associations (CERTA) provides several steps to help parents make informed decisions:
- Check Ratings and Descriptors: Most movies and all video games come with a rating. This rating is often accompanied by a "content descriptor" that explains why it received its rating. Music with explicit content will have a "parental advisory" sticker or an "explicit" warning in online catalogs. Use these tools to assess if the content is suitable for your child.
- Engage with Your Child: Watch movies, listen to music, and play video games with your kids. While it might not always seem convenient or welcomed, it’s crucial. Discuss the meaning of ratings and labels so your child understands their significance.
- Set Limits: Like any form of entertainment, it's vital to ensure that movies, music, and video games don't interfere with schoolwork, exercise, and other important activities.
- Utilize Parental Controls: If you have an Xbox 360, you can activate parental controls to block Mature- and Adult Only-rated games. Upcoming consoles like the PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Revolution will also feature parental-control options.
Entertainment can educate, amuse, and inspire. While there are options for every age group and interest, not every choice suits every audience. By following these guidelines, parents can ensure they make the best entertainment choices for their family.
