A child very much like your own, Noah discovers how it feels to be on the giving and receiving end of some not-so-friendly behavior on social media. As kids read and see what choices he is faced with, they can easily empathize with his struggles as he learns about the positive and negative power he holds in his hands.

A great read-along book, Noah’s New Phone also includes a handy workbook to reinforce important elements of the story like choices, safety, healthy boundaries and the huge potential that is technology. Full of great discussion questions and simple activities, parents and teachers will find it easy to teach about the ripples of change kids and families can make with technology in our homes, schools, communities, and the whole world.

Perhaps the most important tools ever created, smartphones have changed human interactions and relationships more than anything ever invented. They have changed the way we talk (and don’t talk), the way we do business, engage with our friends, and even how we show love. In our hands, they have the power to create, to build, or to damage and destroy.

As we give these powerful tools to teens and children at younger and younger ages, it has become imperative to start teaching kids early how to behave and interact with others online. This book is a great start!

Parenting in the digital age has never been tougher. It seems the world is changing around us at an ever-increasing speed with new technology, massive amounts of information, and new dangers lurking everywhere--especially online.

At school and in our communities our kids are talking about BIG topics and they have questions. Whether it is about technology, racism, suffering, death, social classes, changing technologies, the environment, terrorism, it''s time for us as caring adults to combine our wisdom and their tech savvy to strengthen and empower one another. To address these newer, more challenging concerns, Educate and Empower Kids™ has created a brilliant new resource for parents and teachers, Conversations with My Kids. 

Comprised of five sections (Technology, The World Around Us, Relationships, Self-Improvement, and Deeper Topics) with 30 unique topics, Conversations gives you the words and handy discussion questions to have meaningful talks about the real issues of the day. Addressing tough topics on an ongoing basis strengthens kids, brings you closer together, and opens the door when your kids need to tell you something REALLY important.

The 30 Conversations include:
