Last year, I added an area on the left side of my blog called “Resources for Parents.”  One of the resources is a link to Common Sense Media, a website company.  They are “dedicated to improving the media and entertainment lives of kids and families and exist because media and entertainment profoundly impact the social, emotional, and physical development of our nation’s children. As a non-partisan, not-for-profit organization, we provide trustworthy information and tools, as well as an independent forum, so that families can have a choice and a voice about the media they consume.”
