Adult-owned schedules
A responsible adult chooses the routine, local time zone, reminder, verification method, and whether a story is connected.
FAMILY ROUTINES
Let a story support the evening—never police it.
Routines connect reading to gentle family rhythms with adult confirmation, quiet reminders, neutral missed days, and private milestones.
No punishment loop
Missed routines do not remove essential reading, break a child-facing streak, create shame, or block a story chapter.
Private moments
Milestones and rewards are household memories, not public scores. Rewards are optional, non-monetary, and always overridable by an adult.
Quiet notifications
Notification education comes first. Lock-screen copy is generic, quiet hours are respected, and personalized family details stay hidden by default.
