Meet Your Instructors
We're a child therapist and a digital educator who joined forces to tackle one of the biggest challenges modern parents face: preparing their kid to eventually own a smartphone.
As moms ourselves, we get the constant tug-of-war:
How do you introduce a phone safely?
How do you protect your child without constantly hovering?
How do you raise a kid who uses tech, not one who's ruled by it?
Every family is different. But one thing is ALWAYS true:
Kids need more than just rules.
They need digital skills.
That's exactly why we created the Tech Ready Teen course, to help you EQUIP your child with the tools they need to stay safe, think critically, and build a healthy relationship with technology.
Because tech isn't something to fear.
It's something to approach with intention, and we're here to help you do just that.

Absolutely. This course helps you lay a strong foundation early—so your teen is prepared to navigate tech safely and thoughtfully before they have full access.
Even without a personal phone, most kids still interact with the digital world through school devices, friends’ phones, or gaming platforms. That’s why we encourage introducing tech in steps—so you can build digital skills, set clear expectations, and have important conversations before handing over full access to the internet.
Whether you’re about to introduce a phone or already have one in the house, this course helps reset habits and strengthen boundaries.
The goal of the pornography unit is not to give a moral or religious stance on porn.
This unit will cover the following:
- How porn affects the brain
- What porn gets wrong about sex and relationships
- How to build digital habits that protect yourself from harmful content
- Guidance on what to do if porn use starts to feel out of control
Before you start this unit, it’s important to have had a basic conversation with your kid about what sex is and how bodies work. With that foundation in place, every video in this unit will be appropriate for both tweens and teens. If you still have concerns, we recommend that you view the unit first before watching with your child.
