The Coalition for Quality Children's Media: KIDS FIRST! is a national, nonprofit organization founded in 1991 whose mission is to teach children critical viewing skills and to increase the visibility and availability of quality children's media.

The “don’t ask, don’t turn on” stage. Children under two shouldn’t watch any TV, but as preschoolers start to explore, they inevitably discover the small screen. This list helps parents select the best choices for the recommended 1/2 hour per day television viewing time. Best known for its coveted Parents' Choice Awards, the Parents' Choice Foundation is the nation's oldest nonprofit guide to quality children's media and toys. Its mission is to provide parents with information to participate wisely in their children's learning outside the classroom. An independent testing and information organization since 1978, Parents' Choice is dedicated to providing trusted recommendations for television, books, toys, music, video games, websites, digital media and more. We review, evaluate and recommend products that help kids grow - imaginatively, physically, morally and mentally - fairly priced products that are fun, safe and socially sound. The Parents' Choice website, a public service resource, serves as a clearinghouse for children's media and toys. For more than 30 years, parents, grandparents, educators, librarians and healthcare professionals have relied on Parents' Choice for suggestions to help foster an environment for kids to read more, play more and learn more.

Full of energy, excitement and questions, kids this age are like young sponges. Be sure to monitor what they absorb on the small screen by selecting carefully. Know that at this age, they would rather be doing than watching.

Peer influence is big now, but parents have the ultimate control with the TV remote. Studies show that adolescents spend an average of 21 hours watching TV per week—far too much. It’s all about balance. Let them watch a special favorite but balance it out with Parents' Choice recommended selections.
