Common Sense Media

Common Sense Media is the nation's leading online organization dedicated to improving the impact that media and entertainment has on kids and families. From music to movies, web sites and video games-you’ll find ratings for age-appropriateness as well as user reviews from adult and kid members.

Every family and every kid is different, so the Common Sense Media symbols are suggestions based on the developmental criteria used by reviewers. Here’s how to understand the symbols and ratings:

Reviewer Recommendations

		means the offering is age appropriate.
		means not recommended for the age of kids that will most likely want to play it, see it or hear it.
		means "know your kid." What's right for one 7-year-old may be all wrong for another.

Age Appropriateness & Quality Ratings:

There's an age next to every button. That age represents the minimum age for which the content is appropriate or the age that the producer of the medium has targeted as its audience.   The stars rate the media on its overall entertainment quality, with 1 star meaning it is beyond bad and 5 stars meaning it is terrific.
