Common Sense Media is a wonderful resource for families to utilize in terms of seeking out what's going on in the world of media - which is a huge part of our children's lives today. From movies, TV, apps, games, etc., Common Sense Media has a range of resources to help parents educate themselves on what's age appropriate and what's best for kids. Common Sense Media is dedicated to improving the lives of kids and families by providing the trustworthy information, education, and independent voice they need to thrive in a world of media and technology.

One thing that I highly suggest reviewing together as a family is the Digital Citizenship Section. It's important in the world we live in today to be open about what the expectations are for being a good Digital Citizen, and how to stay safe online. By law, we teach students on a yearly basis about what it means to a good digital citizen at school. Common Sense Media has some great resources for how to continue this conversation at home.
