The Right Content

Sometimes it’s hard to find the right content for your children. After all, what is suitable for an 8 year old may not be suitable for a 3 year old, and with so many different age ratings for different kinds of content like movies and video games it can get confusing.

Movies and TV shows in the UK use age ratings from the BBFC like the ones in the pic…

The BBFC also have a great website for kids here where they can learn about the ratings and even watch cartoon trailers and age rate them themselves (which is more fun than it sounds).

Video games are rated by PEGI so the ratings are slightly different. You can find out more here and and learn about family-friendly games here.

A great website to check suitable content is www.commonsensemedia.org which gives you all the info you need to know about the latest movies, TV shows, books, games and apps with lots of reviews by real parents. Is it suitable for your child? Find out with Common Sense Media.
