Common Sense Media
Common Sense is committed to supporting children as they navigate the media and technology landscape. We equip parents, educators, and decision-makers with impartial information, reliable guidance, and innovative resources to help turn media and technology into a beneficial influence in the lives of children. In today's world, media and technology play a crucial role, especially for young people. On average, children spend over 50 hours a week in front of screens. The media they engage with, whether by consuming or creating, significantly affects their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical growth. Understanding how to effectively and responsibly use media and technology is a vital skill for success in the 21st century. However, parents, teachers, and policymakers often find it challenging to keep pace with the fast-evolving digital environment that shapes children's learning experiences. Now more than ever, they require a reliable resource to guide them through a world where change is a constant factor.
