If it sounds time-consuming, think again. It s really just another way to spend time with the kids, but on their turf. Taking control I always tell parents to learn more about the games. But I get firsthand information by hanging out with the kids at the console demo station at the local toy or software store. We can watch other kids playing, and decide whether a game is suitable for purchase.
Every parent has different standards.
Before we made the purchase, we discussed the game s content. I needed to know that he knew that this was behavior that would be unacceptable in real life. Getting involved When my son's friends come over, I always call their parents to make sure that they're okay with video games. A little knowledge is not a dangerous thing. A few facts can help us make intelligent decisions.
