About BecauseFamily
BecauseFamily exists to inspire and equip parents to be the first influence in the lives of their children. Founded in 2013, BecauseFamily has presented in and hosted conferences and seminars all over the United States. Our book, “What’s in Your Pocket?” is in hundreds of homes giving parents the confidence they need to protect their children from the potential dangers of their digital lifestyle.
In 2015 BecauseFamily began focusing our resources to protect children and teenagers by bridging the technology gap between them and their parents. Your kids are called digital natives by psychologists and the digital landscape they are growing up in is ever changing. BecauseFamily’s S.A.F.E. Workshops and FamilyTechBlog.com are two of the ways we provide support and resources to parents who are bringing up children and teens in this connected age we are living in.
