February 28, 2013, Vancouver, BC, Canada - GoTo Educational Technology Inc. www.birdeesapp.com launched today Birdees®, the first interactive [censored]ual education App for parents, teachers, and children -- now available on the App Store for iPad and iPad mini at:

 

https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/birdees-[censored]-education-for/id603688652?mt=8. Created by health professionals and researchers, Birdees helps parents teach their children what they need to know about [censored]ual health, when they need to know it, all in a fun and interactive way.

 

 

 

Created by Vancouver-based GoTo Educational Technology Inc., a developer of interactive educational tools and resources to support and promote health, respect and safety for both children and parents, Birdees makes it easy to answer kid's tough questions on the birds and the bees.

 

 

 

Virtual [censored]ual Health Professional - Modules Now Available for Ages 2-8 (Ages 9-15+ Coming Soon)

 

 

 

Whether your child is asking you a question you thought they were too young to ask, like: "How are babies made?" Or if you're wondering what's appropriate to teach at what age or how to protect your child from predators, Birdees guides you in what to say and how to say it. Age specific, with two modules for children ages 2-5 and 6-8 (with ages 9-12 and 13-15+ coming soon), the App's interface is split into separate parts, one for parents and another for kids. Parents have access to everything (Content, iBody and iTools) and children can only access the interactive iBody and iTools. The App guides you through how to communicate with your child on important topics, such as body boundaries, behaviors, and dangers through the use of an easy interface. In addition, the app also provides direct access to [censored] educators for parents to ask any additional questions. Also supporting the learning is fun dynamic visuals and touch points for kids to learn.

 

 

 

"We've collaborated with some of the best [censored] educators in the field to ensure the content is accurate, up to date and as comprehensive as possible. We've left no stone unturned!" stated GoTo Educational Technology Co-founder Mary Roka. "Knowledge is protection. [censored]uality is a topic best started young in bite size pieces, so parents can instill their values through teaching and establishing themselves as approachable. When the tough conversations happen later in life, the trust, respect and communication have already been established." Jennifer Weidemann Co-Founder, GoTo Educational Technology added, "[censored] education can be intimi[censored] for parents, even something they avoid for fear they would get it wrong. Our goal was to give them a resource that was light, fun and informative, where both the parent and child could learn in a stress free environment."

 

 

 

Protecting Your Child - Did you Know?:

 

· Well informed children that have open communication with their parents are more protected from [censored]ual abuse because they are more likely to report such behavior.

 

· Predators avoid children with body awareness and confidence. Something as simple as teaching your child the proper body parts can offer protection.

 

· It's easier to teach children when they are younger. These conversations don't get easier with time, they get harder.

 

 

 

"Birdees is a life saver for parents and a gift to children. It's fun, light-hearted, and provides information critical to making smart [censored]ual health decisions that last a lifetime," said Saleema Noon B.A. M.A. [censored]ual Health Expert, Vancouver, B.C.
