What exactly does your child’s online world look like? Which apps do you really need to know about, what rules can you set, and what are the right limits and settings? Creating a safe online environment for your child involves more than just getting the technical settings right. That’s why the ChatLicense app includes conversation starters in the Parent Guide. After all, scientific research makes one thing very clear: asking questions works. It’s about making that real-life connection and approaching the conversation with your child with curiosity and an open mind.

That is why ChatLicense brings this same concept now offline. The “Let’s Chat” cards are a physical deck designed to help you ask the right questions and keep the conversation going. The cards align with the themes covered in the app: from cyberbullying to fake news, and from privacy boundaries to healthy screen habits. Whether you’re in the car, at the dinner table, or on the couch, simply pick a card and start the conversation!

Get the cards here!
