Protect Our Kids
with Kristi Bush
Navigating your child’s social media & devices can feel overwhelming. Where do we start? How do we protect them? And most importantly Why are they doing what they are doing? It starts at home, it starts with education, and it starts with one small conversation. We do not have to start big, but we must start.
Let’s protect our children together.
About the Founder
Kristi Bush
A bit about me…
I’m a national education consultant and social media safety expert, but beyond the credentials, I’m a passionate advocate for protecting our kids in the digital age. When I’m not traveling to share insights or connect with communities, you can typically find me at home in my favorite yoga pants, working on the couch with a smile on my face and my rescue pup lounging at my feet.
I’m also a proud wife to my husband, John, and a dedicated mom to two amazing teenage boys who constantly inspire me. I love bragging about their achievements and sharing their stories, both as a mother and as an educator. I’m a storyteller, a coach, an accidental podcaster and someone who believes in always being prepared for the next adventure. Life is too precious not to make every moment count, and my mission is to educate as many people as possible to help keep our children safe online.
My approach to education is a blend of high-end insights and a laid-back delivery. With over 20 years of experience as a social worker, most of my time has been dedicated to working with youth in a clinical setting. The inspiration for KNB Communications came after experiencing a device-related incident in our own home. That moment ignited my passion to teach parents and educators how to prevent similar situations, ensuring that the same challenges we faced would not impact others.
Over the last decade, I have had the privilege to work with more than 200,000 students, parents, and professionals, helping them navigate the complexities of the digital world. Whether we’re meeting at a conference or in a coaching session, my goal is to create an inviting atmosphere where you can come as you are, take your time, and discover together through our shared stories.
My job is to empower you with the knowledge and tools you need to feel confident in protecting your children online. I genuinely hope my enthusiasm for this important work inspires you as we embark on this journey together. Let’s unite in the mission to keep our kids safe and thrive in an ever-evolving digital landscape!
