AI-powered content tailored to your child's age, interests, and emotional development stage.
Built on developmental psychology frameworks including emotional regulation, social skills, and resilience theory.

Who it's for
The 7 Super Skills
Every module, game, and activity builds one of seven practical life skills — each championed by a friendly character in Brain Town, the world your child explores as they grow.
Daniel the Dog is your child's guide. He walks with them through Brain Town, cheers them on in games, and helps them practise real coping skills — like spotting unhelpful thoughts, calming big feelings, and bouncing back from tough days — in ways they can actually use at school and at home.
Understanding how your brain works — the foundation for every other skill.
Noticing thoughts and steering them in helpful directions.
Recognising and moving through big feelings with confidence.
Building helpful habits and taking charge of actions.
Growing inner strength and bouncing back from challenges.
Reading social situations and building stronger friendships.
Setting goals and imagining the person they want to become.

Questions
Who's behind it
Daniel's Diaries is operated with Foundational Minds, a behaviour support practice — not a faceless app studio.
Foundational Minds is led by a registered Behaviour Support Practitioner with 5+ years of experience working with children and families, currently completing Honours in Psychology. She oversees the program's content and provides the behavioural support in the Gold plan.
AI helps draft and audit module content — a practitioner reviews it before it reaches children, and everything is aligned with evidence-based psychology and behaviour support practice. See our full content process.
Your family's data is encrypted, protected by row-level security, and never sold. Children use nicknames and avatars. You can export or delete your data whenever you choose. Read the privacy policy.
Designed alongside real families and behaviour support practice — for parents, children, schools, and practitioners who want emotional skills taught in a way kids genuinely enjoy.
