The most important subject your child will ever learn is themselves. Kids and teens spend years learning about the world around them, yet receive very little education about themselves. Know Yourself brings the science and art of being human into their hands through bite-sized lessons, quizzes, and real-world activities. From how their bodies work and why they feel certain emotions to healthy habits and life skills, they see how what they're learning connects directly to the life they're living. Instead of simply memorizing facts, they begin to recognize how everything works together — knowledge they can carry far beyond the lesson. EXPLORE 6 LEARNING WORLDS Every world opens the door to a different part of being human: • How Your Body Works • Health & Wellness • Emotions & Mental Health • Social & Life Skills • Sports • Sports Science WHAT'S INSIDE • 46 topics across 6 worlds, built into 200+ guided units — each one a 12 to 15 step flow ending in a short quiz • Written for ages 8-17, in a voice that never talks down • Memory tricks, fun facts, and Dr. B jokes designed for the way kids actually remember things • Every topic cites authoritative health and science sources, one tap away on any screen • Ask Dr. B — an AI chat companion built specifically for kids' health questions, with crisis detection and trusted-adult guidance built in • Streaks, XP, badges, and rewards that celebrate progress • Full English and Spanish, switchable anytime DESIGNED FOR KIDS • No ads, no in-app marketing, no third-party trackers • No account, no sign-up, no names or email addresses • Crisis flow that immediately surfaces 988, the Crisis Text Line, and the "talk to a trusted adult" path any time a kid's message sounds distressed • Dr. B stays on topic — if a child asks about something unrelated or unsafe, the conversation gently redirects WHAT'S FREE • Unit 1 free in the first three topics of every world — 18 units to explore before you decide • 5 messages with Dr. B per day • All progress tracking: streaks, XP, badges • Crisis support is never gated and never limited KNOW YOURSELF PREMIUM • Every unit, every topic • Unlimited chat with Dr. B • Family Sharing included • 7-day free trial, then $4.99/month or $39.99/year (saves 33%). Renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage in your account settings. WHY KNOW YOURSELF Understanding yourself is a foundational life skill. When kids and teens understand how they think, feel, grow, move, and experience the world, they gain knowledge they carry far beyond a lesson. Because learning about yourself isn't just another subject. It's learning for life. FOR PARENTS AND EDUCATORS We're a small but mighty team, passionate about health literacy, building this with input from doctors, teachers, and child psychologists. Reach us at kyapp@knowyourself.com or learn more at knowyourself.com. Crisis support information is built into the app and never gated behind a subscription. If your child is in crisis: call or text 988, or chat online at 988lifeline.org.
