What is happening in your family right now?
The route begins with safety. It cannot assess emergencies, diagnose a child or replace professional support.
From pregnancy to age 18.
Explore all seven age stages for free. When you want the complete programme, each of the six paid English stages includes six modules, a 7-day plan, Alma guidance and a final learning check.
Pregnancy
Support network, shared responsibility, visitors, rest and the first days.
0–3
Bonding, sleep, early tantrums, limits, language and play.
3–6
Tantrums, screens, routines, boundaries and cooperation.
6–9
School, autonomy, friendships, frustration and gaming.
9–12
First phone, peers, privacy, body changes and confidence.
12–16
Adolescence, communication, online life and boundaries.
16–18
Decisions, money, work, relationships and adult transition.
Prepare a family, not a perfect home.
The English overview focuses on practical family organisation: support, shared responsibility, visitors, privacy, rest, crying and knowing when educational guidance is not enough.
- Turn vague offers of help into specific tasks.
- Agree visitor and photo-sharing boundaries before the birth.
- Prepare a safe adult pause and a relief plan for overwhelming crying.
- Keep health decisions with qualified maternity and paediatric professionals.
One useful conversation
“When the baby arrives, practical help will be more useful than a long visit. Please ask before coming and do not post photos or location.”
Important: this is educational guidance, not maternity, paediatric or mental-health care.
0–3: the first small steps
Young children borrow regulation from adults. A short limit, a safe environment and teaching after calm are often more useful than long explanations during distress.
Topics covered: tantrums, night waking, hitting or biting, early boundaries and language concerns.
Connection, safety and early boundaries.
The goal is not perfect sleep or instant obedience. It is to observe patterns, protect safety and respond consistently while development unfolds.
Tantrums, screens, routines and boundaries.
Everyday conflicts at this age are frequent and observable, so small practical changes can make family routines calmer and clearer.
- Prepare transitions before switching off a screen.
- Validate feelings without allowing hitting.
- Turn vague commands into visible actions.
- Build three-step routines instead of repeating ten instructions.
A sentence for a difficult moment
“You can be angry. I will not let you hit. I am here, and we will practise another way when your body is calmer.”
The complete 3–6 English stage is available now for a one-time payment of $24.90 USD.
6–9: learning to manage responsibilities
Primary-school years bring homework, friendships, frustration, gaming and growing independence. The aim is not constant supervision, but clear expectations and skills that can gradually be practised.
Topics covered: homework, school refusal concerns, gaming, frustration and friendship conflict.
Autonomy, school and friendships.
Start by identifying the real obstacle, turning vague expectations into observable steps and distinguishing everyday conflict from situations that require school or professional support.
First phone, peers and growing privacy.
This stage benefits from conversations before the first crisis: why a phone is needed, where it sleeps, how help will be requested, what privacy means and how adults respond to exclusion or cyberbullying.
- Define the purpose of a first phone before choosing apps.
- Use small, repeated conversations about puberty and online life.
- Separate support with schoolwork from replacing the child’s work.
- Preserve evidence and activate adult help when bullying is suspected.
A useful first-phone question
“What problem are we trying to solve with this phone, and which features can wait until later?”
Supervision should respond to a concrete risk and include a path back to greater autonomy.
12–16: connection without interrogation
Adolescents need privacy and growing autonomy, while adults still remain responsible for safety and boundaries. The route focuses on observable facts, one conversation at a time and proportional supervision.
Topics covered: not talking, school avoidance, motivation, irritability and phone privacy.
Communication, boundaries and online life.
The goal is not to force disclosure. It is to keep a reliable door open, respond to behaviour without humiliating and escalate when there is violence, severe distress, self-harm or major deterioration.
Responsibility, future and adult transition.
Families are moving from direct control towards negotiated responsibility. Useful plans describe facts, define household contributions and create small real-world actions around study, work, money, relationships and safe independence.
- Replace labels with a thirty-day plan.
- Explore options before demanding a permanent decision.
- Discuss concerning relationship behaviours without attacking the person.
- Agree transport, communication and safety before nights out.
A sentence for future decisions
“You do not have to choose forever today. You do need better information for the next step.”
Legal, medical, financial and employment decisions require appropriate local advice.
A useful first step, not an open chatbot.
The public English experience uses predetermined routes. It does not send questions to a generative model and it does not create a family profile.
What Alma does now
Helps you choose an age and an everyday challenge, then returns a small action, a sentence and a caution.
What Alma does not do
No diagnosis, treatment, emergency assessment, hidden surveillance, memory or personalised clinical advice.
How to use it safely
Use Alma for everyday educational orientation, then continue with the relevant guide or stage. Seek qualified human help for health, safety or serious concerns.
