With your guidance, your family can

Microsoft encourages all families
to make a PACT—to spell out what
types of media are appropriate for
each child and where, when and how
\RXUFKLOGPD\XVHWKHP
With a PACT your family will agree
upon:

Setting guidelines is key to promoting
healthy habits in front of the screen
– whether playing computer and
video games, watching TV or using
WKH,QWHUQHW*XLGHOLQHVZRUNEHVW
when they are clear, comprehensive
and agreed to by all members of the
IDPLO\
To that end, Microsoft has equipped
both Xbox 360 and Windows Vista
with built-in controls for parents to
decide appropriate media use, called
