Read full description

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. ●For app malfunction or comments, please contact us at support@media-active.co.jp
