Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! One of the educational themes common to all of our guidebooks is the idea of "planting seeds" of information. By giving kids the right seeds of information, the goal is to enable them to evaluate and problem-solve on their own - critical thinking in action!

Instead of telling them what they should think, promoting independent thinking is a much more effective way of enabling kids to become lifelong learners.

We're all about making it as easy as possible for busy parents to raise inclusive kids. As digital accessibility continues to evolve, we decided that ebooks (epub and PDF) are the best format for our quick-read guidebooks .

There's another reason. In addition to the hyperlinks we embed into paragraph text, the end of each chapter provides links to more information (in case you want to explore one of the chapter subjects further).

First, you should know they're short (average ~45 pages). We intentionally avoided a big time commitment on your part because we know how busy parenthood is. Each guidebook is short, packed with useful tips, and gets right to the point!

Also, each guidebook provides specific step-by-step instructions (per the American Psychological Association) for getting your message across - things like how to learn what your child already knows, how to explain the basics without losing their attention, how to answer inevitable questions, and what you can do around the house to cultivate the value you're trying to teach.

Lastly, our guidebooks are written to provide the greatest amount of ideas and practical suggestions using the least amount of words. Our author was a single mom, lived through the daily race against time, and knows how important it is to find what you need. Now!

We write our booklets for parents of kids ages 6-12. That said, we're aware that there are vastly different maturity levels at every age and parents know best what is and isn't appropriate for their own child.

Trish Allison writes our booklets. She shares wisdom that can only be learned in the trenches of parenting in a non-traditional family.

She combined her experience as a parent, her career as a technical writer in Silicon Valley, extensive APA child psychology research, a degree in English from U.C. Berkeley, and a long-ignored passion to write something meaningful -- into a collection of diversity and inclusion parenting handbooks.

Trish's goal? To live the rest of her life as her true self.
