Making The Right Entertainment Choices
America's children are avid consumers of movies, music and video games. But sometimes their entertainment choices may not be appropriate for them. How is a parent to make sure that the latest hit movie, hot video game or chart-busting album is right for their child?
The Coalition of Entertainment Retail Trade Associations (CERTA), an umbrella group for movie theatres, video and video game stores and music retailers, encourages parents to take a few simple steps to ensure that entertainment is appropriate for their family:
• First, look for the advisory. All video games and most motion pictures carry a rating. Complementing the rating is a "content descriptor" that explains why the game or movie got the rating that it did. Music that contains explicit content displays a "parental advisory" sticker on the album cover or an "explicit" warning in the online download catalogue. Use these advisories to make sure the video game, movie or music is appropriate for your child.
