Television watchdog TV Watch has released a guide for parents on how to control what their children watch. The guide, called 'TV Tools for Parents 101', explains how to use parental controls such as the V-Chip and program guides.

'Parents' daily lives are so hectic, we wanted to make a quick and easy way for them to learn how to effectively monitor what their children watch and enforce their family's television viewing decisions,' said Jim Dyke of TV Watch. 'So, forget staying up all night cramming, because learning how to make your television family friendly can be done with a few simple clicks of the remote.'
