The new report from interFUEL draws from the hands-on experience of this interactive agency which has created virtual worlds and online content for Shining Stars, Nickelodeon, MTV and Sesame Street. It pinpoints seven must-have features for a virtual world that will truly engage kids, tweens, and teens:

• Mom’s approval, since the ultimate decision to admit a child rests with the parents.
• Safety, under the law, and in the eyes of parents and children.
• Fun, fun, fun!
• Fresh content, so that visiting the world becomes part of a child’s routine.
• Ways to connect and socialize with other kids.
• A feeling of control over the child’s appearance, personal space, and resources.
• Means to encourage self-expression.
