About PartnerDojo

What it is

PartnerDojo is a practice simulator for babysitters and older siblings. Junior, a pretend four-year-old, can be calm, bouncing, pulling away or overwhelmed. Each move you choose changes Junior through a fixed set of rules — the same choices always get the same result.

No AI, no chat

Junior is not a chatbot and does not use artificial intelligence. It is a small, transparent set of rules designed so every state can come back, and so that calm always comes first when a child is overwhelmed.

What it is not

It is not a babysitting certification or first-aid course. Real children are more complicated than any simulation — use it to practise, then learn the family’s own routines.

A note for grown-ups

PartnerDojo is Developmental (FEDC-informed) — informed by the functional-emotional developmental-capacities tradition of thinking about individual differences and relationships. All the words here are our own; PartnerDojo is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any organization or program in that tradition. It is a conversation starter, not an assessment, a diagnosis, or therapy.
