"In the era of proliferating streaming platforms, choosing what to watch on
family movie night can be hard.

Parents have a greater need than ever for good advice to help them narrow down
the options, and they should be able to turn to the government’s classification
system.

When they do, they will usually trust that if something is rated G or PG, it’s
suitable for young children.

You might be surprised to learn, then, the current media classification system
has no basis in evidence about children’s developmental needs."
