FeelingPal gives children a calm, simple way to express how they're feeling — and gives parents the insight to respond with confidence. Built for kids ages 5 and up (including children with autism and ADHD), FeelingPal replaces meltdowns with check-ins. Your child picks an emotion, rates the intensity on a volcano scale, and optionally adds words. That's it — three taps, no reading required. WHAT YOUR CHILD SEES - 9 emotions with big, friendly emoji buttons — Happy, Sad, Angry, Frustrated, Worried, Hurt, Tired, Confused, and Too Much - A 5-level volcano scale to show how big the feeling is - Optional words screen for kids who want to say more - Age-appropriate coping skill prompts when intensity is high (breathing exercises, grounding techniques, sensory activities) - A visual daily schedule with drag-and-drop routine cards and tap-to-complete tracking BUILT FOR REAL FAMILIES - Works offline — check-ins are saved locally and sync automatically when your device reconnects - Follow-up prompts appear 25-35 minutes after a high-intensity check-in to see if your child is feeling better - Email notifications alert you immediately when your child logs an intense feeling (3+) - Warm, calm design with large touch targets — nothing clinical, nothing overwhelming - Designed alongside a 7-year-old with autism and ADHD PRIVACY & SAFETY - HIPAA, COPPA, and Washington MHMD compliant - Your child's data is never sold or shared with advertisers - Data is encrypted in transit and at rest - Full data deletion available at any time from your profile - Consent is collected before any data is stored Privacy Policy: https://feelingpal.com/privacy Terms of Use: https://feelingpal.com/terms
