Built on parenting research

Hoshibo brings well-known parenting ideas into a daily family tool.
It supports your involvement rather than replacing it.

Busy days, made a little easier

Kids have a lot to think about! Hoshibo makes everyday routines easier to follow, with clear steps that help children stay focused and grow more independent.

A routine in progress: three steps ticked, "Get dressed" now, and "Shoes & coat" up next

Rewards without the wait

Every completed step gets instant praise, and finished routines earn stars, with chances for bonus stars along the way. Because a little reward now can mean more to a child than one promised later.

Less reminding, more independence

Hoshibo helps your child know what to do next, so you don't have to keep reminding them. They can move through their routines at their own pace, building confidence and independence along the way.

Working towards finishing on time

Set the time your child needs to be ready and how long each step should take. Hoshibo works out when to start and guides your child through the routine, one step at a time.

Kids underestimate how long things take

Most children think getting ready takes less time than it does. Giving each step its own time, shown as a disk that shrinks, makes the time visible one step at a time.

Small steps towards finishing on time

Hoshibo helps turn 'almost made it' mornings into routines finished on time. Focusing on completing each step before its disk runs out helps your child concentrate on one task at a time and stay on track to finish on time.

Better mornings begin at bedtime

A good night's sleep and a little preparation the night before help children feel ready, focused and less rushed the next morning.

Get ready for tomorrow, tonight

Preparing clothes and packing school bags the night before can make mornings easier and less rushed. These tasks can be added to your child's bedtime routine in Hoshibo.

A calm routine, every night

Doing the same calm steps each night helps children wind down and settle to sleep more easily. Hoshibo doesn't track your child's sleep. Instead, it helps them build a relaxing bedtime routine, one step at a time.
