Therapeutic tales

Not every child can say: "this is too hard for me".

Sometimes they scream. Sometimes they hit. Sometimes they shut down. And sometimes they just "explode" - at home, at preschool, at the least expected moment.

Open Tales is the app that helps parents and children get through these moments together, instead of against each other.

Open Tales for tough moments

Open Tales supports you in situations like:

  • outbursts of anger and aggression
  • arguments with siblings or a parent
  • "no" turned into screaming and hitting
  • frustration when things don't work out
  • difficulty waiting, being patient, losing
  • tension after preschool or school
  • returning after illness and emotional dysregulation

How does Open Tales work?

Step by step - no judgment, no punishment, no escalation. You only need 5 minutes together each day.

  1. Pick your child

    Select the child you need support with.

  2. Pick the situation

    Choose the emotion or tough moment happening right now.

  3. Walk through it together

    A short story guides you step by step. No judgment, no punishment, no escalation.

  4. Return to conversation

    Your child names their emotions, understands their source, and returns to a sense of safety.

In the app you'll find short stories and tools that help your child:

  • name what they're feeling
  • understand where anger comes from
  • see other possible reactions
  • return to a sense of safety

It's not "suppressing emotions" - it's learning how to experience them without hurting others along the way.

Tales that defuse tough moments

Open Tales uses short stories that your child can relate to.

You'll find stories about:

  • anger that "erupts like a volcano"
  • arguments that damage relationships
  • words that hurt more than actions
  • difficulties with waiting and frustration
  • being a "very energetic" child
  • spitefulness that hides other emotions

Every story leads to conversation - not a lecture.

Emotions aren't the problem. Lacking the tools is.
