Dear Parent, VTech®, with the introduction of our V.FLASH™, offers kids a cool, fun, and educational alternative to the world of violent video games. We know that kids want to play popular video games, and we also understand parents’ reluctance to put potentially inappropriate content into their hands. As kids get older they want to be able to play independently and make choices for themselves, and parents want to feel comfortable that these choices are going to be healthy and beneficial to their kids.
