About

Some days you look at your child and think: where did this come from? Stages explains what your child is moving through right now - and gives you two small things to do about it today. No feeds, no lectures, no guilt. Stages Premium unlocks the daily activities, the Transition Radar, the articles for every stage, the parent practices and assessments. Premium is an auto-renewing subscription - details at the end of this description. HOW IT WORKS A short check-in. Sixteen questions about what you have actually seen over the last couple of weeks: how often, how much help, how reliably. Three to four minutes, once per stage. Your child's map. Four areas - Physical, Communication, Thinking and Social. Not a score against other children, but a picture of where your child leans right now. Milestones matter, but a single milestone on a single day tells you less than a pattern across two weeks. Two small steps a day. Ten minutes each, matched to where your child actually is. The same activity comes with different guidance depending on them: what to do if it is hard, what to change if it is easy, when to stop. Five minutes for you. Every day also includes one short practice for the parent, because the hardest part of the day is usually not the child. TRANSITION RADAR Behaviour changes. Sleep goes sideways. The child who was fine last week suddenly is not. These are what many parents call developmental leaps. Stages shows the broad windows when they commonly happen, explains what is usually behind them, and tells you what helps - before you are in the middle of it. WHAT IS INSIDE - A guided path from the first weeks through the early school years - Short check-ins you can repeat as your child grows - Daily activities that need nothing you do not already have at home - Articles for every stage and every area of development - Support practices for parents - Calm, quiet design with no ads and no social feed WHAT THIS IS NOT Stages supports developmental monitoring - the ordinary parental habit of watching your child over time. It is not a screening tool, it is not a diagnosis, and it does not compare your child with other children. If something worries you, or if your child has stopped doing something they used to do, talk to your pediatrician. SUBSCRIPTION Stages Premium is an auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings.
