ANECDOTE

Teen Slays Doctor’s Private Push

Katy Faust recounts her 15-year-old daughter’s sports-physical where the doctor asked invasive questions alone with the teen.
The girl pushed back and later told her mother, illustrating the value of prepped children who can resist adult pressure.

ADVICE

Be The First Voice On Tough Topics

Use the Founder’s Principle: be the first to introduce controversial topics so you become your child’s expert.
Give age-appropriate heads-ups early so kids return to you for answers instead of peers or teachers.

ADVICE

Prepare Early For Trending Issues

Follow the rule: better a year too early than five minutes too late when prepping kids for trending cultural topics.
Lay foundations in elementary school, add detail in middle school, and deepen discussion in high school.
