KEEP KIDS SAFE
in a digital world
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.

Mandy grew up in a divorced home in a small Indiana town. She survived many bad teenage decisions, landed at Indiana University and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology. She’s been married to Matt for 26 years, and they’ve raised two children.
In 2013, one of Mandy’s kids asked a highly sexualized question. Mandy didn’t know “this thing” existed until she was a 19-year-old college student. Her kids were 9 and 6 … and did not have phones. She found out that her child was exposed to pornography through a conversation at school. No phones were allowed, but a kid had watched a pornographic video at home and described graphic details at school. That’s when she realized – we can delay the phone, but we cannot delay the conversations.
