Children and Adult Participation

Key Seekers Adventures is designed for children to use together with a parent, guardian, or other trusted adult. It is not designed for unsupervised use by a child.

A parent or guardian must set up access, remain reasonably available during use, and review anything a child records, draws, or chooses to share.

Nothing in this experience replaces the responsibility of parents, guardians, pastors, teachers, licensed clinicians, or other responsible adults.

• Adults retain responsibility for all health, safety, family, educational, financial, and legal decisions.
• Children are encouraged to bring every dream, image, impression, question, or concern to a trusted adult.
• The activities teach gentle, invitational language and never instruct a child to keep a spiritual experience secret from a parent or guardian.
• The activities never direct a child toward a private relationship with any adult outside the child's own trusted circle.
• Adults should discontinue use and seek appropriate pastoral, educational, or clinical support if a child becomes distressed.

• Platform content does not establish physician-patient relationships.
• Platform content does not constitute legal advice.
• Platform content does not constitute accounting advice.
• Platform content does not constitute investment advice.
• Platform content does not constitute pastoral counseling, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment.
