📊 What the Assessments Told You:

Whether you took it with your child or reviewed their scores afterward, one thing is clear:

They’re not ready… yet.

But now THEY understand why — and that changes everything.
The test revealed gaps in 4 key areas your child must develop before they’re ready for the responsibility of a device:

Responsibility

Can they follow through without constant reminders?

Emotional Maturity

Do they manage frustration, comparison, and pressure in healthy ways?

Digital Understanding

Do they know how the internet works — and how it works on them?

Character

Are they making choices that reflect who they want to be, especially when no one’s watching?

🎯 What Happens Next

Your child doesn’t need another lecture.
They need a coach.
They need a clear path.

📱 They need to earn it.

That’s where the Digital Prep Academy comes in.

💻 What Is the Digital Prep Academy?

A coach-lead, interactive course designed for kids ages 8–13 who want a phone — and are ready to show they can handle it.

✅  Story-based, kid-friendly videos
✅  Real-life challenges and rewards
✅  Badge system and belt levels (just like martial arts!)
✅  Designed to be done without you having to remind or teach

🧠 Why Your Child WILL Do the Program

Because they want the phone.

And that motivation is baked in.

They move through short, engaging coaching sessions, earn badges, and advance through our belt system —

just like in martial arts. They start at White Belt and grow from there.

Each lesson gives them the “why” — through stories they relate to:

  • ✅ We compare dopamine loops to game traps they know
  • ✅ We explain emotional control using real-life examples, like missing a big shot in sports
  • ✅ We walk them through digital danger without shame — just clarity

When kids understand the why, they buy in.

And when they buy in, they grow.

This shifts the responsibility to them.

They know what they need to do. And it’s their choice now.

If they can’t complete the White Belt course on their own or choose not to, they’re not ready for a phone.

And if they can? They’ll earn the privilege of a starter phone (like a Gabb or Bark phone) — and your trust.
