Introducing the TurnAroundKids AI Parent Coach

Our new AI Parent Coach helps with sleep, mood and behaviour in kids aged 5–12, with advice grounded in child psychologist Dr Simonne Cohen's parent-led programs. It's free to start and needs no account.

Every parent knows the moment. It's 8:30pm, your child is out of bed for the fourth time, and you're wondering what you're supposed to do now. Or you're stuck in a morning battle over shoes, or watching a worry take over your child's day. You want help that fits your child, and you want it now, not in six weeks when an appointment comes up.

That's why we built the TurnAroundKids AI Parent Coach.

Advice from a child psychologist, whenever you need it

The coach isn't a general chatbot. Its advice is grounded in the parent-led therapy programs of Harvard-trained child psychologist Dr Simonne Cohen. It's built for parents of kids aged 5 to 12, and it covers the things families tell us they struggle with most:

  • Sleep and bedtime: settling, night wakings, early rising and bedtime routines
  • Worries and big feelings: anxiety, anger, sadness and frustration
  • Behaviour and listening: following instructions, limits, tantrums, sibling fights and screen time

How it works

Tell the coach what's going on, in your own words. Like a therapist would, it asks a few quick questions first: how old your child is, what the hard moment looks like, and what you've already tried. Then it suggests one thing to try.

When it helps, the coach can also show you a short video in which Dr Simonne explains a strategy, a printable worksheet to use at home, and for many topics a video for your child to watch with you. Afterwards, it asks how it went, so the next step builds on what actually happened in your house.

Free to start, and private

You don't need an account to begin. Just open the coach and type. If you'd like to keep a conversation, you can sign in with your TurnAroundKids account and we'll email you a code. Saved chats are encrypted before they're stored.

What the coach is, and isn't

The coach is a practical guide for everyday parenting challenges. It doesn't replace a doctor, psychologist or other professional who knows your child. If you're ever worried about your child's safety or your own, the coach will point you to emergency and crisis services straight away.
