Screen Safety Essentials Course
FAQ's
Why should I get this course?
FAMILY CONNECTION: Dr. B has found the safest families are those that maintain a screen-friendly, ongoing dialogue. With our comprehensive family course, your kids will learn to come to you for help, recognizing that they are not alone facing risk online.
PARENT EDUCATION: Tech immigrants usually don’t know as much as their tech natives. We catch you up on issues so you can earn your child’s admiration and you can lead with credibility.
DIGITAL INJURY PREVENTION: Dr. B believes that learning and appropriately applying prevention strategies will decrease the chance your family will end up in a psychologist’s office for treatment due to digital injury. One can’t unsee what has already been seen.
PSYCHOLOGICAL WELLNESS: Don’t wait until after your child has run into real, damaging trouble. Prevent digital injury, teach psychological wellness, and let go of the parenting guilt. With our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you really can’t go wrong.
Why is this course so inexpensive?
Dr. B loves the families she works with and has been a child advocate her whole career. Rather than charge a lot for a few families, she went against expert advice and chose to charge a little for many. She’s spent her career treating digital injury and made a personal commitment toward prevention. A ridiculously low price made sense to her to achieve that.
This course works for kids of what ages?
We offer parenting information and activities for parents of kids from preschool-age to high school-age. That way, the program can be used in families with kids of multiple ages. And, you can continue to use the course for years to come! Dr. B designs here courses with versatility in-mind.
What topics does this course cover? Should I buy GKIS Courses too?
The Screen Safety Essentials Course takes you through content from ALL GKIS Parenting Courses, Agreements, and Supplements (plus more), and you get free access to our Social Media Readiness Course for tweens and teens! There is no need to buy any other GKIS parenting courses!
Dr. B walks you through the Connected Family Agreement during the first several weeks, a digital contract that sets rules and highlights important screen issues. She also offers sensible parenting strategies for setting up a cooperative parent-child alliance. From there, she runs you through setting up parental controls, home setup, and offers must-know information to keep your screen safety fluent. The family course offers parent expertise and credibility so you’ll be their go-to source when they make a mistake online or see something uncomfortable.
How much time do I have to commit to follow the program?
As much as you want! But the GKIS Screen Safety Essentials Course is designed to save you time, so you can spend as little time as 20 minutes a week. You can skip weeks at your convenience or even do more than one lesson at at time. We offer an optional family exercise, downloads, and even reading links to go deeper if you’d like. It’s totally up to you!
Is there a guarantee?
Yes! If after two weeks you feel like our course is not for you, you can return your purchase no questions asked.
Won’t kids figure it out on their own?
Some will, some won’t. Just read the comments from any moms Facebook group and you’ll see that not everybody forms good judgment online. They say there are no original ideas anymore, but we have customers telling us all the time they’ve never heard of some of Dr. B’s strategies. She’s been building them and incorporating best strategies from her work and research over 28 years of parenting, teaching, and clinical practice. That’s direct feedback from thousands of families! She knows what works and what doesn’t; her livelihood depends on it.
What if we are already out of control with screen use? Are we too far gone?
It’s never too late, even with teens. GKIS strategies can be implemented immediately for positive change. And you’ll learn a ton so you won’t feel shut out anymore.
Which video do I watch first, the parent video or the family video? What is the difference?
We recommend you watch the parent video first on your own. The parent video offers parenting ideas and strategies that support the family exercise. The family video offers an exercise for the whole family. We recommend you screen-cast it onto your tv for your family to view together. Of course, watching it on a computer or tablet also works. Each video is typically around 5 minutes long.
To make the family course super convenient, we give you access to all weekly videos. That way if you skip a week, you can always go back later and view the videos.
Will we get access to Dr. Bennett?
If you’d like individual coaching for support here and there, you can always sign up for coaching sessions with Dr. B separately. Coaching sessions are offered at a discount. Also, keep an eye on her GetKidsInternetSafe.com SAVE-THE-DATE page and attend a presentation! Or, make an appointment for an office consultation.we
My coaching video has no sound.
Usually, that happens if your phone is on silent, your volume is down, or you need to tap the gray speaker icon in the right-hand corner of the video.
