If you have a young child, you might have already noticed that a lot of their friends are starting to get cell phones, and if that’s the case your kid is probably starting to put the pressure on you to get one for them.

Making the Rules
When you become a parent, a light inside is awakened, and you are charged with the responsibility of illuminating the path for your children until they are old enough to hold the light for themselves.
You shine it on the shadow parts so they can be seen, heard and transformed.
You light up the scary and unknown with empathy, awareness and understanding.
