Frequently asked questions

Snippet

Babaoo is a neuro-educational app that helps children learn how to control their Attention and develop essential learning skills.

It offers a calm, structured, and supportive environment where children understand how their Attention works, practice it step by step, and build skills they can use at school and in everyday life.

Activities are short, guided, and pressure-free. Children move at their own pace, independently, and learn how to use their resources when and where it truly matters.

‍

Long answer

Babaoo is not designed to push performance or correct behavior.
Babaoo offers a supportive environment. Children discover, independently and at their own pace, how their brain and Attention work. They practice focusing, saying “Stop” to pause and think before acting, and staying engaged with a task while pushing distractions aside. They discover and experience how these skills become available and useful in everyday life.

Without labels, promises, or shortcuts.

‍

Implicit bridge

Babaoo starts with understanding, builds core skills progressively, and creates the conditions for those skills to be used beyond the app, at school, at home, and in everyday life.

Snippet:

‍Babaoo helps children build strong foundations for learning over time: Attention, core learning skills, and a clear understanding of how learning works. These skills develop progressively through understanding, practice, and repetition, making school effort - such as listening in class, starting homework, following instructions, and staying engaged - more effective and less exhausting.

‍

Going further:

Babaoo is built on a stable scientific framework designed to develop essential learning skills: Executive Functions. These include Attention, Inhibitory Control, Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Planning.

Attention is one of these Executive Functions and a core skill that allows the others to be engaged effectively. By practicing these skills in a structured and non-judgmental environment, children gradually automate them. This automation makes the skills available in everyday moments when they are needed, without requiring constant conscious effort.

Babaoo deliberately offers a variety of activities and situations. This helps children gradually recognize that the same cognitive tools can support many different situations, not just a single game or task.

At the same time, Babaoo invites children to mobilize these skills across varied activities and real-life contexts - at school, at home, and in everyday situations. To bring everything together, Metacognition serves as a transversal guide, helping children understand how learning works and how to engage these skills more effectively.

Over time, this process reduces cognitive fatigue.

Children feel less driven by distractions or impulses, and more able to act intentionally. They become active participants in their learning, instead of simply going through the motions.

‍

Implicit bridge:

‍As these foundations settle, children gain a growing sense of competence and inner stability, creating the conditions for learning to feel safer, clearer, and more manageable in everyday school life.

Snippet:

‍Babaoo is designed for all children. Because learning how to engage one’s Attention is a fundamental skill, useful at every age and across all learning paths. With Babaoo, each child gradually builds their own clear, calming reference points. This makes effort more manageable, learning more accessible, and gradually helps reduce frustration.

‍

Going further:

‍Babaoo offers a shared, non-judgmental cognitive framework that children explore at their own rhythm. Within this stable environment, each child discovers how to engage Attention and other Executive Functions in ways that make sense for them, without labels or assumptions.

This makes Babaoo relevant for a wide range of children: those who are easily distracted, those with Attention difficulties or ADHD (diagnosed or not), children with different learning profiles, gifted children, as well as those driven by curiosity or by the pleasure of discovering a new universe: their brain.

Babaoo works without categorizing children. It focuses on core cognitive mechanisms that support learning, self-regulation, and everyday challenges across many situations.

‍

Implicit bridge:

‍Because the framework is light, flexible, and respectful of each child’s rhythm, Babaoo naturally fits into daily life, at school, at home, and within family routines, alongside any existing support.

Snippet:

‍No. Babaoo is not a medical treatment, a therapy, or a diagnostic tool. It is an educational program designed to help children build learning skills that support school life and everyday functioning. Babaoo does not replace medical care, therapy, or specialized support when these are needed.

‍

Going further:

‍Babaoo does not provide diagnoses and does not fall under a medical or therapeutic approach. It does not replace medical care, therapy, school support, or educational accommodations a child may already have. Babaoo offers an educational approach grounded in cognitive science research.

It focuses on strengthening core cognitive foundations, such as Attention and Inhibitory Control, that support learning, self-regulation, and emotional balance. Because of this positioning, Babaoo can be used on its own or alongside existing support, depending on each family’s situation, while keeping all options open for the future.

‍

Implicit bridge:

‍By clearly defining what Babaoo is not, families can better understand how it fits into their child’s learning environment, as a complementary, non-medical resource.

Snippet

Attention allows children to direct and sustain their focus on what they are doing.
It is essential for learning, staying engaged, and acting effectively in everyday life.

‍

Going further

Attention is the ability to direct and maintain focus on what matters, despite distractions.
It plays a central role not only in learning, but also in everyday activities such as listening, playing, following instructions, and interacting with others.
When Attention is fragile, children may appear distracted or inconsistent, even when they have strong abilities.

Snippet

Executive Functions help children regulate their actions, thoughts, and emotions.

‍

Going further

Executive Functions are core cognitive skills that help children control impulses, focus, hold useful information in mind, plan ahead, and adapt to change.
The five essential Executive Functions are: Attention, Inhibitory Control, Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Planning.
Attention is included as an Executive Function and plays a central role in how the others operate.
They support how children organize themselves, manage effort, and respond to challenges.
These skills are essential for learning, managing emotions, and developing autonomy.

Snippet

Attention is the gateway to learning.
When Attention is unstable, information is harder to take in, and because Attention supports every step of information processing, difficulties tend to show up across schoolwork, emotions, and everyday situations.

‍

Going further

When Attention is hard to stabilize, learning takes more time and effort.
Results are often disappointing.
Frustration gradually builds.
Children may find it harder to stay engaged, regulate impulses, or manage frustration, which can gradually affect behavior and emotional balance.
Over time, this can affect confidence and create tension at home or at school, even in bright and curious children.

Snippet

Attention difficulties are common and do not automatically indicate a disorder.

‍

Going further

Attention difficulties are common, vary widely between children, and can have many causes, including brain maturity, environment, fatigue, or emotional load.
They are common, do not automatically indicate a disorder, and do not define a child’s intelligence, potential, or future.
In this case, it is possible to help children build, step by step, the skills they need.

Snippet

Attention and Executive Functions develop gradually as the brain matures.

‍

Going further

Attention and Executive Functions naturally develop over time as the brain grows and gains experience.
This development is not automatic or linear: it depends on practice, environment, and repeated opportunities to learn how to focus and self-regulate over time.
With the right support, these skills can become clearer, stronger, and more efficient.

Snippet

Parents play an important role by providing structure, understanding, and consistency.

‍

Going further

Parents can support Attention and Executive Functions by creating clear routines, reducing unnecessary distractions, and encouraging effort and strategies rather than performance.
Helping children understand how their Attention works, without pressure or judgment, makes a real difference.
Small, consistent actions in daily life often have the strongest impact over time.

Snippet

By helping children identify what captures or distracts their Attention, so they can better resist distractions, stabilize their focus, and stay engaged longer.

‍

Going further

Children with Attention difficulties often struggle not because they lack effort, but because their Attention is easily captured by the wrong signals. Visual movement, sounds, internal thoughts, or emotions can quickly pull their focus away.
Babaoo helps children first understand how their Attention works. They learn how each Attention channel works (visual, auditory, or internal) and how it can be drawn in or pulled away.
Once these patterns become clearer, children can start practicing how to stabilize their Attention: noticing when it drifts, understanding why, and gently bringing it back without frustration or self-blame.
Through guided activities and progressive challenges, children learn that focus is not about forcing themselves, but about understanding their own Attention signals and learning how to manage them.
Over time, this awareness helps children stay engaged longer, resist distractions more effectively, and feel more in control of their Attention in everyday situations, at school, at home, and beyond.
Babaoo does not replace school support or existing strategies. It simply offers children a gentle way to explore how their Attention works, practice staying engaged, and see whether this approach helps them feel more focused and confident over time.

Snippet

By helping children strengthen their Inhibitory Control, so they can protect their Attention, reduce mental noise, and gradually build a sense of control.

‍

Going further

Children with ADHD often experience a constant sense of being pulled in many directions, not because they lack intelligence or motivation, but because impulses, distractions, and internal noise make thinking feel chaotic.
Babaoo helps them understand what is happening in their brain when Inhibition weakens and impulses take over.

Babaoo focuses on strengthening key skills:

• Inhibition, to pause and filter internal and external interference
• Attention, to engage it at the right moment, in the right place, and in the right way
• Working Memory, to keep information available while it is being processed
• Planning, to organize and monitor actions step by step
• Cognitive Flexibility, to adapt to change and find new strategies

Activities are structured, progressive, and non-judgmental. Feedback highlights effort and adjustment rather than success or failure.
Babaoo does not replace medical or therapeutic care. It offers a complementary educational framework that helps children regain control, reduce overwhelm, and practice self-regulation skills in daily life.

Snippet

By helping children identify which Executive Function is at stake in a task, and learn how to engage it at the right time and in the right way.

‍

Going further

Children with learning differences often try hard but still feel lost, not because they lack ability, but because the task itself feels unclear.
Babaoo helps children clarify what is expected, what is at stake in a task, and which Executive Function needs to be engaged, whether it is Attention, Inhibition, Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, or Planning.
This process builds Metacognition. Children learn to recognize the demands of a task, select the right cognitive tools, and apply them intentionally.
By making learning goals and strategies explicit, Babaoo reduces confusion and cognitive overload. Learning becomes more structured, more predictable, and less discouraging.
Babaoo does not replace specialized support or teaching methods. It provides children with a clear framework to understand what is expected of them and how to approach tasks, giving families the opportunity to test a structured, science-based way of learning, without adding pressure.

Snippet

By reducing cognitive load through oral guidance and clear, structured visual design, so mental energy is preserved.

‍

Going further

Children with dyslexia often spend a large amount of mental energy decoding written information. This effort can quickly exhaust Working Memory and fragment Attention, leaving little energy for understanding.
Babaoo avoids adding another layer of cognitive strain. Most explanations and instructions are delivered orally, so children do not need to rely on reading to understand what is expected.
At the same time, Babaoo uses a clear, structured visual design with consistent cues, simple layouts, and minimal visual noise. This helps children grasp the overall goal of an activity without feeling overwhelmed.
Metacognition plays a key role. Children learn to better understand expectations, recognize helpful strategies, and adapt their approach without blaming themselves.
Babaoo does not replace reading support or therapy. It offers children a lightweight, respectful way to explore how their brain works, without adding extra mental load, so families can see whether this approach helps learning feel more accessible and less exhausting.

Snippet

By helping gifted children understand how their brain works, challenges become a source of growth rather than self-doubt.

‍

Going further

Gifted children often learn quickly and intuitively. Learning itself is rarely the challenge. Difficulty arises when solutions are no longer immediate, and require step-by-step reasoning or sustained effort, rather than an intuitive jump to the answer.
Babaoo helps gifted children become aware of cognitive processes that are usually automatic: Attention, Inhibition, Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Planning.
Through Metacognition, they discover that their brain is not just fast, but plastic. Difficulty becomes a sign that a challenge matches their abilities, not a failure, but an opportunity to engage effort, strategy, and persistence.
Babaoo prepares gifted children to face situations where solutions are not obvious, helping them build resilience, confidence, and a more balanced relationship with learning.

Snippet

Babaoo turns neuroscience into everyday skills, so every child can learn how to make the most of their brain.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is designed for all children, because learning how to use their brain is becoming an essential life skill, just like reading, writing, or math. It benefits every child, not only those facing difficulties or learning differences.
Advances in neuroscience show that Attention, Executive Functions, and Metacognition shape how children learn, adapt, regulate emotions, and engage with the world. These skills are not fixed: they develop over time and can be strengthened.
Babaoo’s mission is to make these skills accessible to every child, and meaningful in everyday life. Through a playful, immersive experience, children learn how to engage their Attention, regulate impulses, organize effort, and transfer these skills into real situations.
For some children, this support addresses visible challenges. For others, it plays a preventive and empowering role, building strong cognitive foundations early, that will support them throughout their life.
Babaoo does not aim to correct children. It equips them by turning the science of learning into everyday skills, for the benefit of every child.

Snippet

Frustration or everyday anxiety can appear when effort feels high but results don’t follow.
These reactions don’t define the child - they often signal a loss of control over Attention.

‍

Going further

Frustration, discouragement, or everyday anxiety can appear when the effort required feels harder than expected, and the results don’t seem to match the energy invested.
These reactions say nothing about who the child is. They are a functional response to a specific difficulty: losing control of Attention.

When Attention becomes unstable, distractions take over, mental effort increases, and tasks require more and more energy for uncertain results. The child is genuinely trying, but struggles to turn that effort into success.

Over time, a cycle can settle in:

• effort increases
• cognitive fatigue builds up
• results don’t follow
• frustration appears
• then doubt, pressure, and a diffuse form of everyday anxiety may develop

This is neither a cause nor a personality trait. It is a signal - the marker of an imbalance between effort, Attention, and outcomes.

As Attention is gradually strengthened and stabilized, this cycle can reverse. Effort becomes more effective, fatigue decreases, pressure eases, and everyday anxiety often softens naturally.

Snippet

Attention difficulties can increase stress or anxiety, especially over time.

‍

Going further

Repeated effort without the expected results can increase stress or worry in some children.
This is especially true when difficulties are misunderstood or when children feel pressure to keep up.
Recognizing these signals early helps prevent unnecessary emotional overload.

Snippet

Frustration often appears when effort feels high and results feel out of reach.

‍

Going further

Frustration can arise when a child invests effort but struggles to stay focused or in control.
Difficulty regulating Attention or impulses can make challenges feel overwhelming.
Over time, this gap between effort and outcome can fuel repeated frustration.

Snippet

Repeated difficulties can affect confidence and self-esteem over time.

‍

Going further

When challenges repeat without clear understanding, children may begin to doubt themselves.
Confidence can slowly erode, even in children with strong abilities.
This impact can be subtle, but meaningful if left unaddressed.

Snippet

Attention difficulties can affect daily family dynamics and relationships.

‍

Going further

Repeated misunderstandings, reminders, or conflicts can create tension within the family.
Parents may feel unsure how to help, while children may feel misunderstood.
Over time, this can affect the emotional climate at home.

Snippet

Strong emotional reactions do not automatically mean there is a problem.

‍

Going further

Strong emotional reactions can be a sign of a temporary imbalance rather than a lasting issue.
They may reflect fatigue, overload, or difficulty coping with everyday demands.

Before drawing conclusions, it’s important to look at what surrounds the child — at home, at school, and in daily routines.
And when the situation calls for it, turning to a professional can help better understand and support what the child is going through.

Snippet

Parents play a key role in offering emotional safety and understanding.

‍

Going further

Emotional support starts with listening, naming emotions, and reducing pressure.
A calm, predictable environment helps children regain emotional balance.
Small, consistent gestures often matter more than big interventions.

Snippet

Short, regular sessions matter more than long, irregular ones.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is designed for short daily sessions, typically 15 to 20 minutes.
This rhythm supports focus and learning without overloading Attention.

‍

What this means in real life

• A clear beginning and an easy end help children stay engaged
• Short sessions fit easily into daily routines
• Regularity matters more than duration, especially for young brains
• Stopping is part of the design, not a frustration point

‍

In short

‍Babaoo favors balance over screen time accumulation.
Short, intentional use supports learning, without turning screens into a daily struggle.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

No neuroscience degree needed. Babaoo guides your child step by step.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is designed so children can progress independently. Parents do not need to explain concepts or understand neuroscience.
The app carries the structure, language, and guidance. Parents can simply stay parents.

‍

What this means in real life

• Children learn through stories, play, and experience, not lessons or explanations
• Concepts are introduced in accessible language and through situations children can relate to
• Parents do not need to prepare, explain, or teach anything
• Babaoo creates a shared, simple vocabulary parents can reuse naturally if they wish

‍

In short

‍Babaoo offers a free, pressure-free learning path for children.
Parents do not need to push or monitor. They simply accompany their child when it makes sense.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

Skills learned in an app or at school don’t transfer on command. They need the right conditions.

‍

Going further

Transfer cannot be forced or triggered on demand, from a game, from school, or from any learning context.

Babaoo helps reduce the gap between learning and real-life use.
It does so by linking skills to everyday situations. This starts from the very first game sessions.

‍

How Babaoo approaches Transfer

‍
Transfer is built step by step, from the very first sessions:

• Adventure and Discovery create an engaging environment where curiosity rises and awareness grows
• Stimulation helps children automate their skills, making them available whenever they are needed
• Missions brings everything together, acting as a natural bridge so skills can leave the screen and take shape in real life

‍

What Missions look like

• Fun, meaningful activities designed for real life
• Done alone, with friends, or with adults
• Integrated into everyday moments: home, school, play, daily routines

‍

What parents notice

• The skills discovered are put into real-life practice from the very first play sessions
• No special setup or explanation needed
• Skills gradually settle into daily life, at each child’s pace

‍

In short

Babaoo doesn’t wait for transfer to happen.
It creates opportunities for it from day one.
For parents, simply being present, attentive, and supportive makes the biggest difference for your child.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

Yes, when screen time is designed to train the brain, not to keep children glued to the screen.

‍

Going further

Screen time can help when it is designed to stimulate active thinking rather than passive consumption.
Babaoo is not passive or reactive screen time. Sessions are short, structured, and designed with a clear purpose. They help children learn to focus, stay engaged in everyday activities, and know when it is time to take a break, both in the game and in real life.

‍

What this means in real life

‍

How Babaoo makes this possible

‍Across five game modes, Babaoo provides:

• short activities that respect children’s cognitive limits
• clear goals that guide Attention
• immediate feedback without pressure
• progress that rewards engagement and persistence, rather than speed

‍

Across Babaoo’s five different game modes

• Adventure engages children through emotion and curiosity
• Discovery builds understanding of how Attention works and its vocabulary through an immersive narrative adventure. The child explores a world, progresses through quests, discovers game mechanics, and learns by playing, fully immersed in the experience
• Stimulation reinforces effective cognitive scripts through repetition
• Brain Bubble helps reset Attention and emotional load
• Missions encourage the reuse of skills beyond the screen

‍

In short

‍Screen time doesn’t have to drain Attention.
When its power is directed toward building real skills, rather than capturing attention or consuming time, it can help children learn how to focus.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

Same game mechanics. A very different implementation and purpose.

‍

Going further

Babaoo uses familiar game mechanics: clear goals, progression, and a rich, immersive universe children naturally connect with.
But they serve a different purpose: not to keep children on screens, but to support skill development, balance, and real-life use.

‍

What this means in real life

‍Same mechanics
Babaoo relies on familiar game design elements:

• curiosity and exploration
• clear goals and progression
• a rich, immersive universe (stories, sounds, voices, songs, characters)
• emotions carried through stories and the Babaoos

‍

Very different implementation

• no battles or fights
• no leaderboards, scores, or comparison
• no competition or ranking
• no reward saturation or addictive loops

‍

A different purpose, across five Modes

• Adventure: immersive journeys that spark curiosity and a desire to explore
• Discovery: awareness and vocabulary about how the brain works, through stories, songs, and secrets
• Stimulation: mini-games and level design that reinforce effective cognitive scripts
• Brain Bubble: calm audio moments that help reset Attention and emotional load
• Missions: skills are meant to leave the screen and be reused in daily life

‍

For parents

• Short, structured sessions
• No supervision or explanations needed
• A clear beginning and an easy ending to manage with your child
• Engagement that supports learning, not screen dependence

In short

Babaoo keeps what makes games engaging - design, emotion, and curiosity.
It changes how they are used, and what they are used for.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

Babaoo is designed to support children with clarity, care, and a science-based approach, without pressure or labels.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is built on a clear understanding of child development, combined with deep respect for each child’s rhythm and individuality.
It offers a structured, science-based framework that feels calm, supportive, and non-judgmental, for children and parents alike.
Nothing is rushed or imposed: progress is guided, observed, and allowed to settle naturally.
For parents, worry eases, and the family regains the calm that allows the child to keep making progress at their own pace.

Snippet

Mastering Executive Functions allows children to:

• make the most of their brain to learn more easily
• better manage their emotions and, in turn, their behavior

Attention plays a central role in these mechanisms.

‍

Going further

Executive Functions are the cognitive skills that allow children to organize their actions, regulate impulses, adapt to situations, and manage effort over time.
They work together as a system, supporting learning, self-regulation, and everyday functioning.
Within this system, Attention is a central Executive Function. It acts as a gateway: it determines what information is selected, maintained, and processed. When Attention is unstable, other Executive Functions become harder to use effectively.

By helping children strengthen their Attention, Babaoo creates the conditions for other Executive Functions - Inhibitory Control, Working Memory, Cognitive Flexibility, and Planning - to be engaged more efficiently.
Rather than treating these skills separately, Babaoo helps children understand how they work together, practice them in coordination, and gradually learn how to mobilize them in real situations: at school, at home, and in everyday life.
Attention and Executive Functions are used constantly across everyday activities: learning, playing, interacting, and adapting.

Most importantly, Babaoo helps children become aware of their own way of focusing, learning, and thinking.
This awareness supports balanced, lasting development built on conscious foundations.
These are the skills that quietly support learning today, and autonomy for life.

Snippet

Progress with Babaoo respects each child’s rhythm, effort, and emotional balance, as well as each family’s goals.

‍

Going further

Progress in Babaoo is designed to be gradual, observable, and aligned with natural child development.
There is no pressure to perform, and no comparison between children; each child progresses at their own pace.
Each step supports attention, self-control, and confidence in a balanced way, over time.

Babaoo focuses on building core skills designed to be used freely across all situations in everyday life.
Just as learning to read and write allows a child to express what they want to say, rather than what they are told to say, Babaoo gives children tools to understand, adapt, and act on their own.

Progress with Babaoo respects each child’s rhythm, effort, and emotional balance.
It develops gradually, without pressure, without comparison, and without intruding into family life.
Babaoo supports real, lasting progress, deeply respectful of each child as they are.

Snippet

Babaoo is neither a series of lessons to learn nor a set of exercises to complete.
Babaoo helps children better understand and use their brain through engaging experiences they want to explore.

‍

Going further

Babaoo translates scientific principles into actions, signals, and play that feel stimulating, meaningful, and easy to engage with.
There are no lectures to understand first. Children engage through doing, noticing, and adjusting.
As progress begins to be felt, consciously or unconsciously, science becomes increasingly engaging.
Children naturally want to keep exploring, both within Babaoo and beyond.

Snippet

Babaoo brings together scientists, remediation professionals, and educators to turn research and real-world experience into skills children can use in everyday life.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is built on the close collaboration of two complementary approaches:

• The Scientific Committee defines solid models of how Attention, Executive Functions, and learning work. It ensures scientific rigor and provides a clear direction for the program. Its members test and apply their research in real-life conditions, in direct contact with children.
• The Pedagogical Committee, made up of teachers and child development professionals, works with children on a daily basis. It understands what is clear, motivating, and realistic in real school and family situations.

Members of both committees work in continuous dialogue and enrich each other’s perspectives. Science provides structure and coherence; real-world practice ensures everything remains useful, accessible, and appropriate for children.
This dynamic is what allows Babaoo to be scientifically solid while staying deeply grounded in children’s real lives.

Snippet

Babaoo is developed with scientists and child development professionals deeply embedded throughout the process.

‍

Going further

Since day one, Babaoo has been designed at the intersection of two demanding and complementary approaches:

• Researchers with internationally recognized scientific expertise, whose models have been tested in real-world settings
• Teachers and child development professionals in daily contact with children

Scientists are involved at every step - from defining the cognitive models built into the app to observing how children interact with Babaoo.
Teachers and trusted professionals use Babaoo in their daily practice. Their feedback continuously shapes the evolution of the app.
This long-term involvement keeps Babaoo grounded in science and closely connected to children’s real needs.

Snippet

Babaoo is grounded in established neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and pedagogy. Modern research in these fields underpins brain-based learning science. Together, these research fields are grouped under cognitive science, often called CogSci.
A list of foundational research is available on the Babaoo website.

‍

Going further

Babaoo is built on well-established research about how Attention, Executive Functions, and learning skills develop in children.
Its foundations combine neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and pedagogy to shape every design choice.
This scientific base then guides decisions, from vocabulary and games to design and progression, with one priority: usefulness for real children.

Snippet

There’s no perfect moment to wait for.
You don’t need a new school year or a specific reason to start.
Calm, available moments in daily life work best.

‍

Going further

‍

What this means in real life

• Babaoo can start at any time
• Calm moments in the day work best
• Your child’s rhythm guides the experience

‍

Family life tip

• Make the first session a small, positive moment to share
• Discover Babaoo together and mark the start as a gentle milestone, focused on curiosity and discovery

‍

In short

‍Start when life allows it.
Babaoo is a calm, supportive space where your child grows, and you can breathe.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn without pressure, comparison, or fear of being judged.
This is how they begin to build their own freedom.

Snippet

Short, regular sessions work best.
About 15 to 20 minutes per session, three to five times a week, is ideal.

‍

Going further

‍

What this means in real life

• Babaoo is designed for short, focused use
• Progress comes from regular practice, not long sessions
• Your child’s motivation matters more than strict scheduling
• Over time, your child naturally finds a rhythm that fits them

‍

Family life tip

• Choose a calm moment that already exists in your routine
• When Babaoo fits naturally into family life, balance follows naturally

‍

In short

Consistency matters more than duration.
When your child enjoys coming back, the rhythm takes care of itself.

Snippet

Your child can use Babaoo independently.
Your role is not to teach or supervise, but to create the right conditions for them to begin, at their own pace, and to remain available if needed.

‍

Going further

‍

What this means in real life

• Your child navigates the app on their own
• Children can use the experience independently, without any explanations from adults
• You don’t need to comment, correct, or direct
• Progress happens through exploration and repetition, at your child’s pace

‍

Family life tip

• Let your child show you how they use Babaoo if they want to
• Others may prefer to talk, ask questions, or share what they have discovered
• What matters most is your genuine availability. Your child feels it and it makes a lasting difference over time

‍

In short

‍Babaoo supports your child’s autonomy.
Your presence is enough.

Snippet

From the very first steps, your child personalizes their avatar and enters the Babaoo universe.
Your child starts with a simple onboarding that explains how things work and can return to it anytime.

• Everything is connected, with clear paths inside each experience
• This helps every child naturally find their way, at their own pace

‍

Family life tip

• Choose a calm, familiar moment in your day to open the app for the first time
• When Babaoo enters family life naturally, children feel comfortable getting started right away

‍

In short

‍There’s no “right way” to begin.
Just start. Everything else settles naturally.
A non-judgmental game environment lets children learn freely and advance at their own rhythm.

Snippet

When a family subscribes to Babaoo, it also helps make the app accessible to another family who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
This solidarity access is part of Babaoo’s commitment to inclusion, without changing anything for your own child or subscription.

Snippet

Yes. You can stop anytime, directly through the app store you use.
There is no trap, no pressure, and no obligation to continue.

‍

What this means in real life

• Babaoo is designed to fit real family life, not the other way around
• If Babaoo supports your child and fits your family, you continue. If not, stopping is simple and hassle-free
• This freedom is part of Babaoo’s philosophy
• Babaoo is a complementary educational tool, never a requirement

Try freely. Continue if it feels right.

Snippet

Babaoo is designed to support your child’s growth while fitting real family life.
When it brings focus, calm and confidence into everyday moments, its value becomes clear.

‍

What this means in real life

• Babaoo offers a calm, structured space where different children, siblings, and families can find what works best for them
• Some families share moments around Babaoo. Others let their child explore independently. And many naturally find their own balance between the two
• There is no pressure to “use it the right way.” When a child’s learning and well-being are supported, parents naturally notice the effects
• Babaoo is an educational, skills-building program, not a treatment or a promise
• Babaoo creates a calm, supportive space where your child can grow
• And where you can enjoy watching your child grow

Snippet

Every child is different, and progress has no fixed timeline.
It appears in many forms, at each child’s own rhythm.

‍

What this means in real life

• Progress may show up through new words about how the brain works, clearer cognitive scripts, better ways to handle distractions, or small self-chosen gestures used at the right moment
• Parents often start noticing these changes in daily life, sometimes before the child is even aware of them
• Expecting guaranteed results within a set timeframe would not reflect real child development
• Calm, distant attention helps parents notice progress and supports lasting growth
• Babaoo does not diagnose, treat, or predict outcomes

Progress grows quietly, in ways that matter over time

At Babaoo, safety means protecting the child, respecting their development, and supporting balanced growth.

Going further

At Babaoo, safety is not a single feature.
It is a commitment that guides every decision.

It means protecting children from inappropriate content, social exposure, and commercial pressure.
It means designing experiences that respect how children learn, grow, and disconnect.
It means treating data with care, transparency, and clear scientific purposes, within strong ethical limits.

Safety also means respecting the child as a person.
Babaoo does not aim to control behavior or shape an “ideal” child.
It helps children build their own tools to think, choose, and act in ways that make sense to them.

For parents, this creates a calm and trustworthy environment.
A place where learning can grow without pressure, and where development is supported with care.

In short, safety at Babaoo is about trust.
Trust in science, trust in design, and trust in your child’s ability to grow.

Snippet

Babaoo is designed to support learning, not to create dependence.

‍

Going further

Babaoo does not aim to keep children on screens longer.
Its goal is to help them use what they learn beyond the app.
On the contrary, Babaoo regularly invites children to step away from the screen.

In Adventure Mode, at the end of each neuron explored, children are encouraged to apply the skills they’ve just discovered in real-life situations.
The Missions Mode, accessible directly from the title screen, is fully dedicated to real life.
Missions can be done alone, with friends, or with an adult.
Parents can also access them if they choose to create a profile.

The experience includes natural pauses and clear stopping points.
At any time, children can stop easily, without frustration or loss.

This approach is intentional and grounded in well-established research.
Learning is stronger when activities vary, skills are used in real life, and physical movement supports brain development.
For these reasons, addictive mechanics would be counterproductive.

Babaoo avoids infinite loops, artificial rewards, and pressure to continue.

In short, Babaoo is built to encourage balance.
For Babaoo, screen time is a starting point, not an end goal.
