Join us online to get the real scoop on what kids deal with on the internet today—parents, don’t miss out!

Most parents have a feeling that “something isn’t quite right” about how kids are growing up online.You set rules.You have conversations.You try to stay involved.But still… it’s hard to answer a simple question: 👉 What exactly is my child being exposed to online right now? In this live session, we’ll walk through the real types of situations kids (ages 8–15) face every day—in a way that’s clear, practical, and grounded in reality (not fear, not hype). We’ll break it down into four simple categories that cover almost everything kids encounter online:<ul><li>Content — What they see (from harmless to harmful)</li><li>Contact — Who reaches out to them (and how)</li><li>Conduct — How kids interact with others (and what can go wrong)</li><li>Commercial — How apps and games influence behavior, spending, and attention</li></ul> <h3>What you’ll walk away with:</h3>✔ A clear mental model of the actual risks (not just headlines)✔ The ability to spot situations before they escalate✔ A better understanding of what matters at your child’s age (8–15)✔ More confidence in how to approach conversations at home <h3>Who this is for:</h3>This session is for parents who:<ul><li>Feel like they’re doing “something”… but not sure it’s enough</li><li>Want to move beyond just screen time limits</li><li>Care about raising a child who can think and act wisely online</li><li>Prefer guidance and understanding over fear and control</li></ul> <h3>A quick note</h3>This is not about scaring you.And it’s not about giving you more rules.It’s about helping you see the landscape clearly, so you can parent with more confidence and less guesswork. If you’ve ever thought: 👉 “I know there are risks… I just don’t know what they actually look like.” This session is for you.
