QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU BUY
Clear answers. No hidden surprises.
Is this only for families already dealing with an online crisis?
No. The kit is designed for prevention, early warning, and response. You can use the conversation cards before any problem appears, then use the Signal Map and response tools if something concerning happens.
What age is it designed for?
The language and scenarios are designed primarily for parents and caregivers of preteens and teens, approximately ages 11 to 17. You can adjust the wording to your child's maturity and online access.
Do I need to print everything?
No. The purchase includes a 55-screen phone edition. The printable card deck is included for families who prefer a physical tool.

Do I need an Etsy account to buy?
No. Etsy supports guest checkout. Your instant digital download will be delivered by email after purchase.
Is this therapy, legal advice, or emergency support?
