Abstract
The Film and Publication Board's (FPB) main task is to classify films, videos/DVDs and computer games in terms of age appropriateness and to provide information to parents so that they can make informed choices about what their children see. To assist the FPB in raising awareness and educating parents and communities about protecting children from harmful and age inappropriate visual material, the FPB commissioned the Human Sciences Research Council to conduct a study of parental approaches to children's use of visual media. The aim of the study was to provide a picture of the range of parental approaches and practices in relation to children's exposure to visual media in South Africa.-
