## What is Krampus Calling?

Krampus is a monster in a Central Europe folklore that has a dreadful appearance but is the personal assistant of the kindhearted St. Nicholas.
His role of correcting “difficult children”, “children who lie” or “children who behave badly” has been passed down over several hundred years.

Krampus Phone Call has been developed with much thought as a support app to help parents struggling with childrearing by passing on good old folklore culture.

●Krampus Phone Call usage examples
There are many different situations; such as when the child is too absorbed in playing and will not listen when he or she is told to clean up or when the child gets too used to being scolded and will not do as told.

A phone call from a third person at such time should be able to get the attention of the child.

After the child is in a position to listen to what is said, the parent will explain why they need to do as they are told. When it is completed, they will be complimented.  This leads to good habits.

●Various difficult situations in childrearing
When disobedient
When not cleaning up 
When not eating meals
When not bathing
When not going to bed

●How to use the app
The contents have been designed on the premise that the parent will operate and show the child.  Please do not let the child do the operating.

Moreover, please use the app according to the child’s personality and the circumstance.

I’m a kid and it’s still scary for me. I’m the one who downloaded this app and do you go to a certain place to during the winter time then Krampus and his friends will be there I like scary stuff so I like this, but I’ve never got through one whole Call

### 5/5 — I LOVE this app

*2025-01-24*

I LOVE this app. I used to have 3 kids who didn’t love to listen and didn’t love to like to talk and take baths and clean and talk to me. So I fixed them and with the app they are now scared and Pierre and they aren’t itchy and um they and they are talking and going and cleaning and I told them take a bath and they said they are itchy and I call Pierre and they understand and they said ok mommy we take it we take it and the krumpis call and they listen and clean the mess and tidy up the toys and they now understand they call the Krampus and they get more call from the Krampus then they daddy but they understand they listen and respect the Krampus and they like to take the bath and the cleaning up and the tidying is now a breeze. Thank you the app and thank you for helping my kids I am a single mother and the Krampus is now helping me care for my kids and they clean up and I love the Krampus and I love Pierre and I now understand. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Put my kids in line.

*2024-12-13*

My nasty scoundrel disgusting ugly kids never listen to me, even when i tell them to do something they just say “pipioipipi. My mom is sooooo stupid.” And hitting them still hasn’t put them in line. So I was at the end of the line, and I thought all hope was lost and I would have to feed them to the hounds. So I thought “why not try out this KrampusCalling thing?” My kids were doing the usual, “no mom!!! I no wanna take a bath stupid pipipipi” and so I played the bath video. They started crying their eyes out and jumped in the tub crying “Please tell piere I’m taking bath!!!! I dont my bones like his!!! Don’t tell him I said that….” While tears streamed down their faces. My kids have never been the same, they don’t talk anymore. The last time they disagreed I called KrampusCalling and they stopped crying since. 10/10 would recommend.
