## What is InnerSteps?

Childhood worries often show up as refusal - at bedtime, before school, being away from you. Without the right skills, facing them feels like one impossibly big leap. InnerSteps gives your child real tools to understand what they're feeling, and breaks that leap into small steps they can actually take.  
  
A journey of stories and games built with Australia's best child psychologists, designed to help kids tackle big worries and meltdowns independently in 10 minutes a day.

- You pick the areas your child needs help with - school drop-off, bedtime, meltdowns, friendships, confidence, separation  
- We recommend a tailored series of stories based on their specific worries  
- Your child meets characters who get what they're going through  
- Each day they unlock a new story and activity, learning real skills through play  
- You see their progress, get gentle tips, and watch their confidence grow
