RootWise vs Kindred

Tantrum in the supermarket? Bedtime meltdown? "I hate you!"? RootWise tells you what to say, word for word, while it is happening.

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.
