It is natural to feel afraid

The emotion we feel when we see a fire is the same feeling we have when we need to have a difficult conversation - it keeps us safe.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Jamyson Haug
