For grown-ups

SometimesTots is a gentle first look at thinking traps. A puppet feels something big and says a very big sentence: "I never get a turn", "nobody wants to play with me". Your child picks a truer, smaller sentence, and the puppet feels a little better.

The feeling is never wrong. Only the word was too big. "Never" and "always" thoughts make feelings bigger; a truer word keeps the feeling and makes it easier to carry.

At home, play Truer Words: when someone says never or always, ask together, "is there a truer word?" This is not therapy and does not diagnose anything. If your child often feels this way, talk to someone you trust.

What it never does

  • No accounts, no ads, no tracking — anything kept stays on this device.
  • No streaks, timers to beat, points to chase or leaderboards.
  • No chat, and nothing anyone types is sent anywhere.

We describe what SometimesTots is designed to practise. We do not claim it raises test scores.
