Something I feel very strongly about is online safety and cyberbullying. I remember doing a ten or 15-page booklet a number of years ago, expecting that maybe I would print 500 copies. I was absolutely blown away by the number of copies parents and schools came looking for, because they had nowhere to go for this information themselves. These people would not be media savvy; they would not be googling. They are just ordinary parents who did not have the expertise about where to look for this. I was blown away not only by their awareness of it but also by their willingness to educate their children and themselves in looking out for that kind of bullying.
