The Common Sense Character Initiative is here. Launched this week, the goal is to help parents and educators find movies and TV shows that teach character and promote the positive aspects of great storytelling and media role models. We know you care deeply about social and emotional learning. Common Sense is committed to help you find media that showcases important values such as integrity, gratitude and teamwork so that if your kids get screen time, you can make it count.
Common Sense users can now filter reviews for eleven separate character traits and find inspiration for media to view together with the family, as well as prompts for pro-social conversations. Dig into our popular Recommended Lists for Character Development. You'll find top picks for movies that inspire gratitude, integrity and perseverance, as well as TV shows that promote everything from compassion to empathy. This new addition to the Common Sense ratings system has received great coverage in the Washington Post, which you can find here, and in Marketplace and KidScreen.
