For grown-ups

Two friends, two wants

One of the earliest big steps in understanding people is this: the same thing can make two people feel completely different — because they wanted different things. WantTots shows it with two magpie friends: rain starts, and Jem (who wanted to stay dry) feels sad while Pia (who wanted to splash) feels excited. You reveal the two wants, wonder together, then ask what your child would have wanted. That’s the first step of seeing through someone else’s eyes.

Both feelings are okay

WantTots never says one friend is right and the other wrong. Jem and Pia both feel exactly the way their want leads them, and both are fine. There is no “best” feeling and no goal. A picture-word gives your child something to point at, and 🔊 reads any moment aloud.

A deck, not a diary

This is the one promise that makes WantTots different: it is a wondering deck, not a mood log. Your child’s feelings are never saved — not on the device, not anywhere. There is no “how do you feel today?” check-in that gets stored, no history, no diary. The moment that shows up simply changes with the day. There is no microphone and no camera. Nothing you tap or say ever leaves this device.

When a feeling stays big

WantTots helps a family wonder about feelings together; it is not therapy and does not measure anyone. If a feeling stays big or heavy for a while, the strongest move is a real one: talk with another trusted grown-up, or a family doctor. A daily wonder is a spark; a caring adult is the anvil.

Our privacy promise
