Why This Matters Now

As a parent, you want to keep your child safe, but the digital world can feel overwhelming and impossible to monitor. You're not alone in feeling this way.

"The internet can open doors for our children but without guidance, it can open the wrong ones. Our job as parents is to be the lock, the key, and the guide."
