Driver’s Ed for the Digital World:
Because You Don’t Hand Over the Keys
Without Lessons
Technology is one of the most powerful forces shaping your child’s brain, identity, and relationships. But most of us are figuring it out as we go—without the tools, knowledge, or support we really need.
This workshop is here to change that.
You’ll learn how to roll out tech with intention—from deciding when and how much to use, to the essential education your child needs first. We’ll give you a clear, step-by-step guide based on brain science, developmental research, and real-world parenting experience.
No shame. No scare tactics. Just a smart, balanced approach to raising kids who can thrive in a digital world—without getting lost in it.
You Wouldn’t Hand Over the Car Keys Without a Lesson..
So Why Hand Over a Smartphone Without a Plan?
If you’ve ever wondered:
→ When is the right time for my child to get a phone?
→ Should I allow TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat?
→ What kind of tech agreement should we have—and will they follow it?
→ How do I set healthy boundaries around screen time?
You're not alone—and you’re in the right place.
In this workshop, you’ll learn how to roll out tech in a way that’s intentional, developmentally appropriate, and values-aligned—not reactionary or fear-based.

✅ A step-by-step framework for introducing devices and apps
✅ A customizable family tech agreement rooted in your values
