How to Make Kids Healthier
This week's statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics encouraged more media education as a way to combat a host of health problems, from obesity to substance abuse.

Check out the Parent Tips section of Common Sense Media learn how to:
- create a healthy media diet
- identify the impact of violence on your kids
- protect your kids from being exploited by advertisers
- talk to your kids about junk food advertising
... and much more
