Behind the advice

Privacy is my expertise. Kids themselves? Still figuring that out.

You can't fix the internet. But you can make your little corner of it safer.

You don't have to figure it all out today. Small, practical changes add up over time, helping you feel more informed, more confident, and more in control of your family's digital world. Because parents have enough on their plates already.

This started because friends kept asking me questions about their kids and technology. I spend a lot of time thinking about privacy professionally, and I figured if my friends had these questions, other parents probably did too. So here we are.
