Application description

TheBestForMyChild™ is an elegant and compact decision support tool for parents. It takes the form of guides, distilled from a comprehensive and fundamental understanding of child psychology, and configurable daily reminders*. The combination of different types of guides explain, in easily understood language, the reasons why babies and children act the way they do and the best way to respond to them.

The Psychological Concept guides describe concepts that are well-known in child-psychology, such as, children are not capable of empathy. The other guides follow logically from these concepts.

The Mantra guides present ideas that should be committed to memory, such as, to expect breakages.

The Pattern guides show how responses to children's actions can form a vicious cycle, such as, giving in to a meltdown.

The Golden Rule guides are similar to the Mantra guides, but are intended to be kept at all times, such as, using positive language.

The Troubleshooting guides describe steps to take when faced with common situations, such as, coping with a meltdown.
