The app where kids 5–9 learn to handle the hard moments, through stories and games they love.
The Reading Eggs of emotional learning.
The tummy aches that only show up on school mornings.
The meltdown over the wrong-coloured cup.
The bedtime that takes an hour and a half.
The party they wanted to go to, until it was time to leave.
This isn't who they are. They just haven't been shown what to do yet
Three simple steps to a child who's got this.
They follow Ricky, a croc who feels it all, and watch him learn the exact skills they need.
Then a game makes the skill stick. By practising it in play, they make it truly theirs.
So when the hard moment comes, they know exactly what to do.
The daily battles fade.
And your kid gets to just be a kid again.
My son absolutely loves his stories, we have read them countless times and even better his worries are dissipating!
My daughter is already talking about her Billy the Bodyguard (the amygdala) away from the app, and it's only been a week!
InnerSteps has had such a positive effect on my son. I want more!

No subscription. No ads.
Download freeThat's the first thing every parent asks. It's built as animated stories where your child is the hero, plus games they want to finish, so it feels like play they choose, not something you have to nag them into.
It's the opposite of zoning out. In about 10 minutes a day they're building real skills for calming down and handling the hard moments, so it's screen time that gives something back.
About 10 minutes a day. A new game lands each day, so sessions stay short by design.
Playing through a short animated story where they learn to spot a big feeling, calm their body, and take one small brave step, then locking it in with a game. The big scary thing gets broken into steps they can actually manage.
Definitely. It isn't about fixing a problem. Every kid hits frustration, nerves and tricky moments like bedtime, drop-off or trying something new, and these are skills that make those easier now and for life.
Those help a child settle in the moment. InnerSteps goes further and teaches them the skills to handle the next hard moment on their own, using the methods clinicians use, rebuilt as play.
Every skill was built with child psychologists using methods used in real clinical practice. It's been featured in Forbes and The Australian, with 20+ awards behind it.
Soon! The new InnerSteps app is on its way. Leave your email and you'll be first to know the moment it lands.
