Common Sense Media--Taking the Guesswork out of Digital Parenting
Parenting in the digital world can be tough. We know many parents grapple with questions about media balance, use, and safety:
- My child is asking for a cell phone, what should I consider?
- Is my child ready to use social media?
- What tools are available to monitor my child's social media use?
- How can I determine if a certain movie, app, or video game is appropriate for my child?
- I'm concerned about cyberbullying. How can I keep my child safe?
