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!

Behavior Tracker helps parents and carers record difficult moments, spot patterns, and create clearer notes to share with others. Quickly log what happened before, during and after an incident using an ABC-style format: - Antecedent: what was happening just before? - Behavior: what did you see? - Consequence: what happened next? - Severity and duration - Location - Early signs - What helped - Notes Behavior Tracker is designed for families supporting children who may have meltdowns, self-injurious behavior, distress, transitions, denied access difficulties, sensory triggers, or other challenging moments. Reports & Insights A one-time purchase unlocks Reports & Insights. There is no subscription. View weekly and longer-term patterns, including: - Entries over time - Average severity - Average duration - Common antecedents, behaviors and responses - Situations that often lead to incidents - Trends that may show whether things are improving You can also generate shareable PDF reports from your logged incidents. Reports can include incident summaries, charts, antecedent-behavior summaries, common situation summaries, average severity, average duration, and recorded patterns over time. Reports may be useful when preparing for conversations with family members, schools, carers, therapists, consultants, or behavior specialists. They are based only on the incidents you record and do not provide clinical conclusions or advice. Common situations You can add common situations, such as morning dressing, waiting for dinner, bedtime, or leaving the house, and estimate how often they usually happen. This helps compare incidents with routine frequency, giving a clearer picture than incident counts alone. For example, 3 incidents in a week may mean something very different if the routine happened 3 times or 30 times. Export and share Export logs or create PDF reports to help prepare for conversations with family members, schools, carers, therapists or behavior specialists. Behavior Tracker is not a medical device and does not provide diagnosis or treatment advice. It is a practical logging and reflection tool to help families record what happened and notice patterns over time.
