On the 3rd day of Christmas.... Setting Parental Controls on your Child's Video Game System
Chances are your child got a video game system for Christmas or either already owned one. You've probably spent some time playing games with them. But how can you protect the kids from inappropriate games when you're not around?
It can be difficult to judge which games are appropriate for kids. You could do research on the game, but, your children could borrow a game of which you disapprove.
the good thing about the new generation of game systems can help you out. The Nintendo Wii, Microsoft Xbox 360, and the Sony Playstation 3 allow for parental controls. You can block games and movies you don't want your children viewing. Below I have listed links that will give you a detailed descriptions on how to set the controls. Good luck!
