For the kid who feels it all. InnerSteps is where kids 5-9 learn to handle the hard moments, from school mornings to bedtime to worries, through stories and games they genuinely love. Built with 50+ child psychologists. Free to start. No ads ever. SOUND FAMILIAR? The morning that falls apart before you are even out the door. The worries that show up right at bedtime. The "I do not want to go" that seems to come from nowhere. This is not who your child is. They just have not been shown what to do yet. HOW INNERSTEPS WORKS Watch it. Practise it. Use it. 1. WATCH IT Your child follows Ricky, a croc who feels it all, and his best mate Waffle, a tiny wizard-detective mouse. Together they face the exact moments your child faces, and learn what to do. 2. PRACTISE IT Then a game makes the skill stick. By practising it in play, they make it truly theirs. 3. USE IT So when the real hard moment comes, your child knows exactly what to do. On their own, without you having to prompt them. WHAT'S INSIDE - Animated story adventures, fully narrated, perfect for kids who are not confident readers yet - Games that turn calm-down skills into something kids actually want to practise - A Calm Down tool your child can open any time they need it: notice it, calm your body, take the step - Short by design, around 10 minutes a day, so it never becomes a screen-time battle - Profiles for siblings, so the whole family can play - No ads.
