Thrilled to have been a consultant with the company DiGi, an innovative app dedicated to promoting healthy digital habits among tweens and teens.

I had the privilege of presenting two impactful webinars, Reshaping Your Digital Wellness and Strengthen Digital Citizenship This Summer, to parents and educators, exploring strategies for fostering healthier tech habits and responsible online behavior.
One of my proudest achievements was leading my school community of 3,000 students and 300 staff to earn Common Sense Educator and School recognition. This milestone reinforced the importance of integrating digital wellness and citizenship into our everyday learning environment, empowering both students and staff to thrive in a tech-driven world.

"I cannot thank you enough for putting this course together, it is brilliant, it is SO needed and I've been telling everyone about it! I told my child's school, school welfare officer, and friends. Please know that parents and kids absolutely need you and all that you bring via your courses and I am very very grateful to have found you."

"This book is a must-read! It's interactive, engaging, and leads to fabulous conversations with my teens. I wish I had it when my kids were younger because I could've set so many different boundaries that would've kept us all happy as a family. With things moving too quickly online, this is a one-stop resource every parent needs to be prepared for the years ahead."
Mangla Sachdev, parent to two teens, Singapore
"A great book! Lots of useful and easy to understand information. A must read for every parent."
Nicole Hohl, parent to one tween and two teens, Singapore
"Heather B has written the conversation opener that families need! The book discusses balanced boundaries to tech, no extremes (yes, gaming is good for you!), on including tech in our modern lives. The prompts and worksheets will help you, as a family, negotiate healthy boundaries, and I love the family charter, not just for kids, but parents too!"
Lisa Stockton, parent to one tween and two teens, Spain
