Problem:
Technology has changed childhood. Even if you’re delaying the phone, your child can encounter harmful content and risky conversations far earlier than previous generations.
Solution:
Rules and monitoring aren’t enough. At nextTalk, we go deeper — helping you build the kind of relationship where your child actually talks to you first, before problems escalate. We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping kids safe through open communication and stronger family connections.

Thirteen years ago, my child asked a highly sexualized question. I didn’t know “this thing” existed until I was a 19-year-old college student. My kids were 9 and 6, and they didn’t have phones. Another child had watched pornography at home and shared graphic details at school. My child was exposed without ever holding a screen. That’s when I realized not giving our kids phones didn’t keep them safe.
We can delay the phone, but we cannot delay the conversations.
My husband and I began searching for a better way, and God showed us what we needed to change in our home to build stronger relationships and communicate better. That journey became nextTalk, my two award-winning books, and the resources we now share with families – lessons we’ve lived out with our own kids, who are now 22 and 19.
Stronger Families. Safer Kids. Real Impact.
