The Private Parent Starter Kit is a simple, practical resource designed to help you take back control — without fear, guilt, or tech speak.

Whether your child has their first device or you’re just tired of second-guessing every app setting, this kit is your shortcut to calmer, safer digital parenting.


If you’ve ever thought:

“I should probably do something about this online privacy stuff…”

“I don’t want to lock everything down, just feel more in control.”

“Where do I even start?”

You’re in the right place.

  • Parents of kids aged 5–13
  • People who care about privacy but don’t want a lecture
  • Anyone overwhelmed by device settings, app requests, or digital chaos

This kit is calm, clear, and made by a fellow parent who works in tech — not a corporation.


If you change just one setting or have one better conversation with your child — then yes.
You’re not just buying a PDF. You’re buying confidence and clarity.

All proceeds support future free resources for families and schools.


If you’re not happy with the kit, just email or reply to your receipt. I’ll refund you — no questions asked. I want it to feel useful, not like homework.
