Positive Responsible Digital Citizenship
Where do your children spend most of their free time?
Between websites, video games, and YouTube,
it can become overwhelming to figure out
how to let your child have fun and be safe all at the same time.
Fortunately, organizations like Common Sense Media can help.
With more and more of life happening online,
what catches kids' attention isn't always what's best for them.
Common Sense Media has gathered and rated
the majority of content that your child is watching every day.
They divide this content up in multiple ways
so that you can easily find what you are looking for.
Common Sense Media rates
movies, TV shows, books,
and more so parents can feel good
about the entertainment choices
they make for their kids.
Learn how they rate
and review the selections.
The Common Sense Privacy Program
also provides support by
evaluating popular applications and educational products so that you can
make informed choices about the media and tech that your kids may be using.

Parents...are you taking care of YOURSELF?
Parents...are you taking care of YOURSELF?
In these crazy times, we know you have to give so much focus and attention to your child's needs and well being...
But what about you??
Try at least one step each day to engage in self-care, and find yourself feeling better!
“It is perfectly normal and appropriate to feel bad and lost...
Consider it a good thing that you are not in denial, and that you are allowing yourself to work through the anxiety.
No sane person feels good during a global disaster, so be grateful for the discomfort of your sanity.”
- Aisha Ahmad, Director of the Islam and Global Affairs Initiative, University of Toronto
