I speak kid.
Need an editor to curate content kids love? A kid expert to assess your content or product?
I’ve worked with kids age 3-12 in various capacities. I’ve played more kids apps, read more children’s books, and spent more time in the toy aisle than should probably be allowed. I’ve got a master’s degree in education, so I know child development, learning science, and how to put research into practice.
Content Evaluation Work
Common Sense Media TV Reviews
I am a TV reviewer for Common Sense Media, so I watch TV shows for people of all ages and determine what age kids it’s best for. I also rate the TV shows across a variety of positive metrics like how educational it is and what kind of messages it has, and negative metrics like the presence of violence, sex, language, and more. I write summaries of the show to help parents understand what TV shows are a good fit for their particular kiddos.
