At the CFL, we partner with dozens of organizations creating high-quality community resources. Below you can find a small, rotating, collection of these resources alongside a brief description of the organization.

Kids had longer screen time and now, more than ever, are more exposed to the internet and other digital media. This has created an opportunity for advertisers to make business and create advertisements intended for children. Parents are aware that these ads are lurking everywhere – on TV and YouTube, in unboxing videos, and even inside their kids’ favorite games and educational apps. Sadly, kids are more likely than adults to be swayed by these ads.
This guide intends to help parents and caregivers teach their kids to carefully analyze the ads they come across online. This guide also contains tips on encouraging the digital literacy of young kids as well as limiting their exposure to misleading ads.
