How Our Content Is Made & Reviewed

We believe parents, schools, and practitioners deserve to know exactly how the content their children see is created. Here is our process, plainly.

✅ Practitioner reviewed 📚 Evidence-informed 🤖 AI-assisted, human reviewed 🤝 Created with behaviour support oversight

Our content process, step by step

  1. Framework first Every module belongs to one of the 7 Super Skills and a specific sub-skill, mapped to established psychological theory (for example emotional regulation, cognitive-behavioural principles, and resilience frameworks). The framework — what is taught, in what order, and for which ages — is designed by people, not AI.
  2. AI-assisted drafting We use AI as a drafting tool to turn each module's brief into age-appropriate stories, activities, and language, personalised to a child's age and stage. AI does the wording; the learning goals, structure, and safety boundaries are set by us.
  3. Automated audit Each drafted module is then audited (with the help of AI tooling) against our content standards: age-appropriateness, tone, safety, alignment with the module's learning goals, and consistency with the Super Skills framework.
  4. Practitioner review and approval Before a module is approved for children, it is reviewed by a qualified practitioner at Foundational Minds. Content that doesn't meet the standard is corrected or rejected. Nothing reaches your child on AI's say-so alone.

Who reviews the content?

Daniel's Diaries is operated in connection with Foundational Minds, a behaviour support practice. Foundational Minds is led by a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner with more than five years of experience working with children and families, who is currently completing Honours in Psychology. She oversees the content review process and provides the behavioural support included in the Gold plan.

Content is aligned with current evidence-based psychology, behaviour support practice, and relevant developmental theory. Where the evidence changes, our content standards change with it.

What AI does — and what it doesn't

AI does: help draft stories and activities, adapt language to your child's age, generate audio narration, and assist with auditing content against our standards.

AI does not: provide therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment; make decisions about your child; or publish anything without human review. Daniel's Diaries is an educational wellbeing tool — the AI involved is a writing and production assistant working inside a practitioner-approved framework.

Important: this is not therapy

Daniel's Diaries helps children learn and practise emotional skills. It is not therapy, psychological treatment, behaviour support services (outside the practitioner support included in the Gold plan), medical advice, or crisis care — and it is not a substitute for any of these.

For parents: if you are concerned about your child's mental health, please speak with your GP or a qualified professional. For schools and practitioners: the app is designed to complement, never replace, your professional judgement and duty of care. If a child is in immediate danger, contact emergency services. In Australia, free 24/7 support is available from Kids Helpline (1800 55 1800) and Lifeline (13 11 14).
