HEALTH AND BALANCED MEDIA USE DURING SUMMER HOLIDAYS

What's PTA?

Microsoft and the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) have teamed up to encourage families to make a PACT- to decide on what types of media are appropriate for each child and where, when, how your child might use them.

The PACT from the National PTA may help families come up with good screen time compromises.
