This is for you — the one in the kitchen with a tea and twelve minutes before homework wrap-up. Read it as the working notes of people who have been in your kitchen too.
Your reality
You have twelve minutes between dinner and bedtime. Not twelve hours.
We built this for the version of ourselves who had twelve minutes, not twelve hours. Everything we offer is sized to that reality — most programs are under fifteen minutes, the clinic conversations are walk-in, and the workshops are scheduled around school calendars and parent-evening windows.
Your time is the constraint we designed around. Not your interest, not your good intentions — your minutes.
You don't need the expert. You need someone expert enough — to help.
You do not have to become an expert in everything. The internet is too big and your week is too short. What you need is access to someone who has thought hard about this.
That is what an expert enough looks like. A growing group of volunteers — practitioners, parents, teachers, students — give their time because this generation needs to protect both the generation ahead and the generation behind.
A Tuesday in George Town
A mother in George Town opened the Foundational program at her kitchen table on a Tuesday evening. Less than fifteen minutes. By Sunday she had her household plan written. By the following month she was running a cybersecurity session for a parent-night at her son’s school.
That is roughly the shape we are designing for. Not transformation. Just the first concrete win — one conversation, one practice that holds, then another.
What started in her kitchen reached his classroom, came home reinforced, and became a household practice. Team sport, not solo project — the village in motion does the lifting; you provide twelve minutes.
Three ways we help
Self-paced programs
Fifteen-minute modules. A written household plan at the end. No data harvested. Browse the catalogue →
Cyber clinics
Walk-in one-on-one conversations with a local cybersecurity expert. Bring the actual question — the suspicious email, the account that was taken over, the parental-controls decision — and leave with a concrete next step you can take this week. Currently running in the Cayman Islands. Upcoming clinics →
Workshops
Live, in-person for groups of parents. Foundational primer, the attention-economy primer, the generative-AI primer. Host one →
If your child’s school runs the in-person programme, you stay in the loop. Each session evening you receive a one-page take-home sheet: what your student worked on, the conversation it opens at home, and which self-paced module supports the same topic. The in-school work and the kitchen-table work line up by design.
If your school doesn’t yet run the in-person programme, you might be the one to open that door. See For Schools — it’s a one-sentence email to a teacher, head of department, or PTA chair, and we take it from there.
If you’re home-schooling, in a microschool, or in a co-op, we have a dedicated path — you’re already running the school, and the parent programs and the student curriculum both belong to you.
Where to start
If a specific concern brought you here, the right starting point depends on the question:
- “My teen is on a phone all the time.” Start with The Engagement & Attention Industry — understand the design before you negotiate the behaviour.
- “My child uses ChatGPT for homework.” Start with Generative AI — know what is being shared, with whom, and how to limit it.
- “Someone in our friend group got hacked.” Start with Foundational — Start Here — the small, significant steps that prevent most of the everyday harms.
- “I just want a place to begin.” Start with Foundational. Twenty minutes.
Or write to us and we will point you at the right program.
What twelve minutes a week buys you
A written plan, an expert-volunteer review, and one household practice that actually sticks.
Not transformation. Not perfection. Just one practice that holds, then another, then another. The compound effect of a few small things, done consistently, is most of what good parenting in any era has ever been.
