Feely was created by parents, for families. Like many parents, we noticed that it can be difficult to talk with children about their day and their feelings — especially when they are still very young. Traditional emotion diaries often rely on writing, which isn’t always suitable. Feely was developed as a simple, playful way to support emotional conversations within the family. With Feely, parents can help their child reflect on feelings and experiences together. Emotions are visualized using friendly characters, and voice recordings allow experiences to be shared in a natural way. This makes it easier for families to talk about emotions and helps parents gain meaningful insights into their child’s emotional world. Feely is designed for shared use within the family, with parental involvement.
