We teach kids to brush their teeth. To do their homework. To clean their rooms.
But who teaches them to be kind when no one is watching? To manage frustration without a meltdown? To lead with empathy instead of ego?
Good emotional habits are the most important thing a child can develop. And yet most families have no way to practice them together — let alone reward them.
There's no shortage of apps for families. Most of them track chores or screen time. I wanted to make something different — something that helped families practice noticing each other.
I'd watched my own grandkids slip into the rhythm most siblings do: small irritations, scorekeeping, who got more, who got away with what. The harder I tried to correct it, the more I was naming the things going wrong. I wanted a way to name what was going right instead.
So I built KindCoin. First for my own grandchildren. Now for whoever else wants to try it.
Choose from our library of age-appropriate behaviors — like "I used kind words today" or "I took a deep breath when I was upset." Assign them to each child and set KindCoin values.
Takes 5 minutesEach day, your child taps the behaviors they practiced and writes a short reflection — what happened, how they handled it. It takes 2 minutes and becomes the best part of their day.
2 minutes a dayYou get notified, read their reflection, and approve their KindCoins with one tap. Write back. Start a conversation you might never have had otherwise. Character becomes currency.
