Tantrum in the supermarket? Bedtime meltdown? "I hate you!"? RootWise tells you what to say, word for word, while it is happening. RootWise is a parenting coach for parents of children from birth to 10: 36 scripts for the hardest moments, a coach that knows your child, and a library of 26 topics with 150 short articles. A two-minute quiz about your child turns it into a plan for your family. The approach throughout: connection first, clear boundaries, no yelling. SCRIPTS FOR CHALLENGING MOMENTS (FREE) When your child is melting down and your mind goes blank, open a script: what to say, step by step, why it works, and one line to keep yourself calm. 36 scenarios, sorted by moment and filtered to your child's age: • Big feelings: public meltdown, hitting, "I hate you", whining, losing at games • Out and about: grocery store, car seat, playground, drop-off, the doctor • Mornings and routines: getting dressed, teeth, bath, potty training • Bedtime: bedtime meltdown, night fears • Screens and homework, siblings and friends, honesty and manners A COACH THAT KNOWS YOUR CHILD Ask anything, in your own words, at 2 am or in the car park. RootWise answers for your child specifically: their age, temperament, the challenges you named, and what you told it last time. Answers draw on the RootWise library rather than the open internet and link to the article or script behind them. One question a day is free; Premium makes it unlimited. Answers are generated by AI and are not medical advice. A LIBRARY FOR THE WHY 26 topics, 150 short articles: tantrums, sleep and bedtime, defiance, discipline and boundaries, siblings, fears, whining, screen time, potty training, school, lying, rudeness, the baby year and more. Every article can be read aloud to you, so it works on the school run. TWO MINUTES FOR YOU A daily affirmation, short meditations, and a private journal for the day and the month. Because the calm has to come from somewhere. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: all 36 scripts, the daily affirmation, meditations, the journal, one coach question a day. Premium: unlimited coach questions, the full library, journal export. Try it free for 7 days, monthly or yearly, cancel anytime. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your journal and the coach's notes about your child stay encrypted on your device. No ads, no selling data, analytics only if you opt in. Available in English, German and Spanish. Support: hello@rootwise.app Terms: https://www.rootwise.app/en/app-terms-of-service/ Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ RootWise offers educational parenting guidance based on child-development research.
