Today’s Parenting Looks Different
The digital world your children are growing up in looks nothing like the one you were raised in — and it’s changing faster than any parent can keep up with alone.
AI Is Changing Homework
Students are using AI tools daily. Parents need to understand what these tools are, how they work, and how to guide responsible use at home.
Algorithms Influence Everything
Every video, post, and recommendation your child sees is shaped by an algorithm designed to keep them watching. Parents deserve to understand how these systems work.
School Tech Comes Home
School Chromebooks and platforms like Google Classroom extend learning into your home — but parents are rarely given guidance on how to support them.
Technology Changes Constantly
Parents are expected to navigate platforms, apps, and tools that didn’t exist a year ago — without any training or support system.
Families deserve practical guidance that builds confidence instead of fear.

Testimonials
The presentation brought home a new perspective for me as a mom, a caregiver, and a marketer. In one hour, I learned exactly how rapidly the information that we share is being consumed and used to influence my time online in ways that I never considered via my day job. Hearing what Schnelle shared made me immediately disable my notifications and be very intentional about spending more time outside. More importantly, she gave me the language that helped me to share my concerns with my household in a way that ensured we were all on the same page about what danger lurks online and how much control we still retain over our privacy.

I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks for the truly amazing workshop facilitated at our recent school PTA meeting. The feedback from our parents has been overwhelmingly positive, and many expressed their appreciation for the valuable insights and knowledge shared during the session.

I asked the teachers and students for feedback — they all said interest in the content was high and the presentations felt relevant. They appreciated that you tailored content to different age groups. All three teachers said that seeing your workshops validated how critical this information is for students, and suggested we work with you again next year.
