2) Keys: for Parenting
Free app available for download! Keys: for Parenting is a new communication tool that puts parenting advice at your fingertips—literally, it's a keyboard!—developed by Charlene Margot and Bev Hartman, co-founders of The Parent Venture.
In today's busy world, many parents wish for better relationships with their kids. But how can you get the conversation started? Give Keys a try! We know you'll love it. And your kids will too.
