"I think Wandering Star is incredible. I think it can be a lifeline for parents. I see it being part of a process of developing a healthy relationship with a phone, as opposed to most apps today which are designed like slot machines for kids’ brains.
I’ve never seen an app that is designed to support developing minds like this."
Rita Pare, BA, MA, Registered Clinical Counsellor
"With all that's going on in our global world, it’s important that everyone in families, including children, are learning these essential skills of self-regulation and mindfulness.
I love the way this app and this story work to evolve technology to meet the needs of connection in a family."
Amber Papou CEO / President of Self Design Learning Foundation
"I really believe in The Wandering Star program. I see it developing empathy and self-regulation, in a way that children can understand.
It’s a gift that parents can give to their children that transcends the app and can benefit them in everyday life."
