Many parents worry about the amount of time their children are spending on devices. Time is one consideration, and the content and features of media they’re using are important, too. The steps below will help families discover high-quality media. They will also help parents learn what to look for and discuss with their children before using a new app, game, or service.

Step 1: Make a list of the games, apps, or media your children want to use.

Step 2: Use reviews to learn about the game, app, or media. The following two sites provide information about what is in a game, app, movie, or online service. 

• Common Sense Media Reviews help parents find age-appropriate apps, games, movies, music, and TV shows. They also provide information parents need to know.
• Parents' Ultimate Guides help parents understand the apps and websites their children might be using.
• Entertainment Software Ratings Board Reviews provide a rating and what is in the game or app.
• Terms of Service: Didn't Read has bullet points of Terms of Service (TOS). The full TOS and privacy policy can contain age restrictions and should be skimmed.

Step 3: Consider the following questions to help you make a decision

• Can your child communicate with people they don’t know while using the app, game, or service?
• Is the app, game, media, or service age-appropriate and is there questionable content?
• Does the tool or service use location services?
• Can your child buy additional features, also known as in-app purchases?
• Can they publish text, photos, or videos publicly or is there live streaming?
• What information is collected about your child and who can they share it with?
• Who owns the content your child posts or shares?
• Does the app, game, media, or service reflect your family’s values?

Step 4:Decide if your child has the maturity and self-regulation skills to use it in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner?

Step 5:Establish expectations and consequences. Tell your child about any parental controls you plan to use. Be consistent about expectations and consequences.
