Our Research and Resources

We’re reclaiming childhood one story at a time.

The research is clear; too much screen time is making childhood harder. It’s linked to rising anxiety, disrupted sleep, lower attention spans and disconnection within families.

We believe children deserve better.
Not more stimulation but more stillness.
Not more noise but deeper connection.

By working with our growing network of educators, child psychologists and literacy specialists we’re helping families build healthy, joyful reading habits.

Our Research and Expertise

Before we launched we spent time working with educators, child psychologists and families to develop a model that is practical, pain-free and effective.  Here’s how it works:
Reduce Stimuli

By replacing screens with calming, sensory-friendly activities like shared reading, children can unwind more easily, settle into routines, and enjoy deeper, more restful sleep.

Strengthen Emotional Bonds

Stories create shared moments between children and their grown-ups. They open doors to conversations about big feelings, identity, and the world — helping families feel closer and more connected.

Foster Resilience & Curiosity

The right stories nurture empathy, courage, and confidence. They spark curiosity about life and others, supporting long-term wellbeing and a love of learning.
