Radish prepares your child for the online world.
Storybooks and an online course that build confidence before your child goes online.
Each one ends with a conversation between you and your child, the most powerful preparation there is.
The next step in your child’s digital education.
Twelve modules, with modules 1 to 6 available now and a new one on the 1st of every month. SkillzBot guides your child through each as a conversation, and every module ends with prompts for you to pick up at home.
Written by humans, reviewed by therapists for safeguarding, and works on any device.
Built on conversation, not content.
Built on conversation
The conversation a story sparks is more powerful than the story itself. That is not a side effect of what we build. It is the point.
Real words, real world
We don’t sanitise what children encounter online. We use the words they will actually hear, so they are prepared, not surprised.
Preparation, not reaction
Radish is for before the device. Children who understand what to expect online handle it better when the moment arrives.
A phone ban buys you time.
Radish is what you do with it.
School phone bans. Later first phones. Delayed social media. All of it buys a window. Radish prepares children inside that window, with the conversations, language, and confidence to handle the online world well when it arrives.
How Radish prepares themThree generations. One mission.
The Hole in the Fence was created in the 1970s by Kate’s father for Health Canada, and her mother spent years researching why it worked. The answer then is the answer now: not the stories, but the conversations they start. Kate rebuilt it for a personal reason. When her son was eight, a game ad showed him something no eight-year-old should see, and there was no language for it, nowhere to take it together. Radish is the answer to that moment.
Read our storyStructured learning. Real conversations.
Radish is a preparation, not a reaction. Both products are built for the window before your child goes online, so when the moment arrives, they are ready.
Your child learns
Every story and lesson is built to feel like a conversation, not a lecture. One idea at a time, in language that sticks.
They prove it
The stories and quizzes both use situations your child will actually encounter. Not abstract theory. Real scenarios that test whether the ideas have actually landed.
You talk together
Every book and every module ends with Let’s Talk prompts designed for your family. No right answers. Just the question, and the two of you.
The content is the warm-up.
The conversation is the point.
Every book ends with Let’s Talk questions. Every module ends with parent prompts. No right answers. No points. Just the question, and the two of you.
If you had a magic mirror, is there anything you would want to change about yourself?
Tell your child directly: if something online ever upsets you, you can always come to me. No judgement.
You are not on your own.
We share daily insights on Instagram and publish guides for every book and module. Every comment is answered.
Everyone’s talking about bans. Nobody’s talking about the conversation.
