What Parents Should Know

Cultural Content GapMild

Published in 2006, depictions of daily life and technology may feel dated. Good for discussion.

Sensitive Topics

This is a secular, gentle overview of culture. The primary sensitivity is a potential cultural content gap.

It presents a simplified, positive view and avoids any complex political or social issues. The approach is direct and informational, not metaphorical.
