Our books encourage young readers to think about the effects technology has on their lives, specifically the activities and relationships they neglect by focusing on the Internet and other electronic devices. Many families do not know how to open the forbidden lines of communication regarding sex, pornography and the dangers of technology, yet it needs to be addressed in every home…our books are the tool to do so. Some parents want to have “the talk” but don’t know how; others are too busy or naive thinking that problems will never find their child. Research shows that by talking to your child, you reduce the likelihood that they will struggle with such addictions. At the end of each book is a special section for parents full of statistics, tips and tools to open communication and to set boundaries. We have a passion to protect, educate and entertain children and know that the best way to do so is through the parents who love them. Parents have a great responsibility, yet so many are uninformed, anxious or ill prepared to have the conversations that will really protect their children. Children today face challenges that most parents could hardly imagine. They need our involvement and our direction. We have no doubt that these books will ease the fear and discomfort that both children and parents feel regarding tough topics. It is our heartfelt vision to help children and parents globally with this rapidly growing danger. Help us arm and protect today’s children who will need the courage and strength to resist the temptations of their generation.
