Learn the rating system
When Parents were surveyed of whether they knew what kind of video games their child was playing, the majority of them said they didn't know what they were playing. Also, a lot of them stated that the reason they didn't know what due to the lack of knowledge of the Video game rating system and the confusion between the different rating systems out there. There are three major rating systems, the video game rating system by Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB : located on the left), the Movie rating sytem by Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA : center), and the television rating system located on the right.
One part that I would really like to focus on is to make sure that individuals understand the various rating systems. If you understand and know what these ratings mean, you are able to monitor and watch what your child or you are playing. It doesn't help that their are three major rating systems that are confusing and mean different things for different age groups. The parents stressed that it was hard to keep up with the systems because they have to understand and veiw so many of them daily. The three images on the page are the three different rating Systems with explanations on what they mean.
