The latest news

We are thrilled to announce the publication of our book through Vermilion/Random House. It is is a unique, practical resource for parents of both sexes, including our own survey results on teenage social media habits. Our chapters address different age groups, so if you have an 11-year old or a a teen embarking on a GAP Year, there is something for every parent.

You can order a copy online from Waterstones or Amazon.

Getting through adolescence is tough, not just for the child growing into the body of a young adult, but for the exhausted and often confused parent. The problems of today’s technology based teenagedom are easier to understand after reading Allison and Deana’s book. Who knows what YOLO means? And I know there is a code for “Red alert parent approaching”? Can someone tell me?

Back to school

August 26, 2016

Welcome to our back to school RAP Chat, The RAP Project’s newsletter. We have had a very exciting few months. The milestone and the events include hitting our 100th school, guest speaking at the Telegraph Education Festival and the imminent publication of our first book, Sex, Likes and Social Media: Talking to our teens in the digital age.

We never could have imagined, back in January 2013, when we delivered our very first presentation to North London Collegiate School that we would now be commemorating our 100th school. On June 23, we drove to Shrewsbury School in Shropshire, alma mater to Charles Darwin, Michael Palin and John Peel. The young men and women in lower Sixth helped us celebrate the achievement sharing their thoughts and support during our presentation. Leaving gorgeous Shropshire behind us, we headed to Wellington College to participate in the two day Telegraph Education Festival.
