For Parents of Children Ages 4-7

Last November, I travelled to San Diego to meet with technology experts and designers, children’s entertainment experts, animators, child educators, and more to envision a unique application for co-use between parents and children, ages 4-7. Convened by National University and Harmony Academy, we came together to ask the big question:

How could we design an app that would foster deeper family connections, help parents build essential skills in their kids, and promote healthy habits? 

Leonard Bernstein said, “To achieve great things, two things are needed: a plan and not quite enough time.” We created a plan with not quite enough time. And through a highly collaborative process, we are putting out an app we hope will make a difference in the lives of families. I’ve been honored to serve as the child development expert and lead content developer. 

Now we need testers!

What’s In the App?

Join Harmony’s main characters including Z (from outer space!) and the Clubhouse Friends for adventures and skill building. Features of the app include:

Daily Practices – Build collaborative routines with short, guided moments for calm and connection.

Family Goal-setting – Set and celebrate shared goals with simple prompts.

Skill Builders – Grow alongside your kids with science-backed tips and videos on topics such as, setting healthy boundaries, promoting resilience, and learning about how to influence children’s motivation and positive behaviors.

Do Togethers – Enjoy hands-on, real world activities with your child.

Conversation Starters – Spark real, meaningful talks anytime.

Animated Storybooks – Watch and explore big ideas through kid-friendly stories.

In-App Journal & Daily Notes – Create drawings and write down insights and memories to keep and share! 

This app is one-of-a-kind because a.) it’s all science-based; b.) it’s designed for interaction between the parent and child; and c.) it’s designed to empower parents with activities so that you can put the phone down and do them together!
