Common Sense Media

Millions of parents have been counting on www.commonsensemedia.org for help in making decisions about what movies to take kids to for years.  If you haven’t used it yet, take a look at the site next time you’re not sure about whether a movie Junior’s begging to see is in your comfort zone.  What I appreciate about the site is that rather than tell you what you should think, the site’s “Common Sense Reviews” simply alert readers to everything they might be concerned about, so parents can make informed decisions.

For today’s post, I want to steal—I mean share—from the website’s most recent newsletter a great little piece called “5 Ways to Unplug on Vacation.”  A tech free vacation sound impossible?  Check it out.    

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the benefits and drawbacks of requiring the whole family to “unplug” for a week on vacation.  Click here to share your experiences.

Safe travels,
