Every month, your child gets a real letter, addressed just to them.
One honest story. One practical life skill. One small mission to try at home. A real envelope with their name on it, no screen, no app, mailed straight to your mailbox.
Cancel any time. Girl and boy editions available.
You know the teen years are close. You don't always know where to start.
Money, new friend groups, the moments that catch a kid off guard. You want to have those conversations before your child needs them, not after. Jordan starts that conversation for you, one letter at a time.
What's waiting inside.
Closed with a gold seal and stamped with its level on the back, so your child learns to recognize it before they even open it.

Everything parents ask before their first letter.
What skills or topics will be covered?
Remember being 10, 11, or 12 yourself. There were questions nobody quite answered at the time, how to handle money before you actually had any, how to walk into a new friend group without your stomach in knots, how to be kind when it wasn't the easy choice. Jordan's letters work through real moments like these, one topic a month, alongside skills like empathy, honesty, and staying steady in new situations.
What age is this for?
Before You're 13 is built for children ages 10 to 12, the years right before the teen years begin.
My child is already 11 or 12. Will they miss letters?
No. Your child starts at the level built for their current age, and that level is a complete, full year of letters written for them. Nobody receives a shortened or incomplete version.
Is there a girl and boy edition?
Yes. The skills and structure are exactly the same in both. The only difference is the opening story in each letter, written separately so it feels personal to a girl or a boy reading it, since kids engage with a story that feels like it's actually about someone like them, not a lecture aimed at kids in general. You choose the edition at checkout.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. There is no contract. You can cancel the monthly plan at any time and your child keeps every letter already mailed.
Is this the same as Ready for Middle School Letters?
No. It can be a companion series, but it's a separate product with its own focus. Most families take Ready for Middle School Letters the summer before 6th grade, an 8 week series timed to that transition, though homeschooling and online private school families often take it anytime, since they aren't tied to that same calendar. Before You're 13 runs monthly from wherever your child starts, ages 10 to 12, all the way up to 13, focused on life skills rather than the school transition itself. Some families use both since they cover different moments, but neither one requires the other.
