Quotable Kidz: Memory Sharing

Imagine finding a keepsake digital album where, interlaced with old photos and videos, you find a list of words and phrases and expressions that came out of your mouth when you were just starting to learn about the world. There you also discover songs and lullabies that you loved as a child, secret recipes for your favorite dishes from mom and grandma, photos of your artwork and handwriting, and little stories about yourself as a child, along with your parents' loving and affectionate observations, hopes, advice, and heartfelt wishes for you. Introducing Quotable Kidz, a state-of-the-art memory keeping and memory sharing app and website for parents and other adoring people, with two separate but converging platforms. The private platform – with a myriad of security options and functionalities only a parent would think of – offers tools and resources to create up-to-the-minute personalized memory albums. The public platform provides a virtual communal playground for sharing kids’ quotable moments with the greater Quotable Kidz community. The site also boasts the Quotable Kidz Compendium of Kid Quotables, a premier resource for all things quotable, searchable by age, topic, and tags. Quotable Kidz is a favorite of parents and their relatives and friends, and of teachers and other professionals who work with kids.

She is the founder of a parent-child treatment program at the hospital that has been recognized as a “Best Practices Model” by the California Institute of Mental Health. This treatment modality is currently offered in private practice under the title of Co-Creative Parenting, and has helped hundreds of families find support for behavioral/emotional issues as well as ADHD by mobilizing the power of the parent-child relationship to help children self-regulate. We initially conceptualized Quotable Kidz as a fun and creative memory gathering tool, but we soon recognized that the platform can serve as a psychological tool too, one that helps parents understand their children more deeply. Quotable Kidz is a space where parents' compassion, their words of wisdom, and their loving vision for their children can find a forever home. The stories we tell our children about their childhood have the power to shape the grown-ups they become. When we recognize our children’s essence -- their inherent qualities, their gifts and their challenges -- and we tell them loving stories about these attributes, we instill in them a sense of self-respect, confidence, and positive anticipation. Our Wish for You and Your Children Quotable Kidz takes the joy in memory making and sharing one step deeper by making our children, as they grow up, the eventual and ultimate audience for the memories, the quotes, the milestones and achievements we post about them. In keeping our children in mind as we talk about them, we infuse our words with a love and vision that can nurture, support, and guide them for an entire lifetime.
