This app is designed to help me remember to read to and with my children routinely. That's how it originally started. I wanted a reminder to read to my two boys and keep up with how much reading I was doing with each of them. I use the app to set alerts and keep track of their progress daily. The app will even make a graph to show the boys their progress and they love seeing it grow, probably because it is tied to their allowance. With that in mind, I added an allowance tab to keep up with their allowance. After I took allowance money away from them... obviously I needed a temper tantrum tracker. And finally, since they are getting money for reading, they might as well have some chores to do too! There are safety reminders for being mindful about gun safety and drug use. Really it is a simple app that alerts me to spend time with my kids instead of wasting time on social media. What are a few more alerts with the constant barrage of alerts from "insert random social media app here." There is also a section for meditation and self contemplation. There is a weekly gun safety reminder and some common questions and answers from the CDC. Go ahead and explore and please help me improve this. Reach out!
