Thingk
Put busy minds to rest
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Getting little ones to sleep can be a struggle. Thingk helps parents calm their child’s mind at bedtime by giving them things to think about.
What is Thingk?
Thingk is a collection of interesting, fun, weird, beautiful things to think about so kids can focus and relax while they drift off to sleep.
Your child is the storyteller.
Unlike apps that read stories written by someone else, Thingk lets your child create their own stories—giving them space to explore their feelings and interests independently.
WHY IT WORKS
Sleep
Helps establish a consistent bedtime routine to promote healthy sleep
Creativity
Encourages children to visualize and use their own imaginations
Bonding
Creates a special together-time you both will look forward to
Empathy
Inspires kids to think about the world from different perspectives
Confidence
Empowers self-reliance by letting kids discover what their mind can do
Fun
Shows kids a way to play that doesn’t require toys or devices
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick
Just before bedtime, open the app to choose a Thingk. You can pick the first one you see, or swipe sideways to find a Thingk that specifically fits your child’s mood or interests that day.
2. Share
When your child is tucked into bed, say the Thingk you chose out loud. Since Thingks are short and easy to remember, you don’t even need to take your phone into their bedroom.
3. Thingk
Discuss the Thingk together and suggest different ways to think about it. Each Thingk includes 3 follow-up prompts for more exploring.
Choose a Thingk topic your child already enjoys, or expand their world by giving them a Thingk about something unfamiliar.
Made for kids’ minds, not their eyes
Kids see a lot of devices during the day. With Thingk, only you look at the screen. Since there’s no audio or video, kids can settle into sleep by the power of their own thoughts.
Is it just for bedtime?
We created Thingk to help kids self-soothe at bedtime. But Thingk works on long car rides, waiting in lines, at the dinner table, really any time your child is ready for a quiet, independent activity.
WHAT EXPERTS THINK
Bedtime routines teach your child self-care and lay the ground for working memory, attention, and other cognitive skills. -Danielle Pacheco and Ealena Callendar, “Bedtime Routines for Children,” Sleep Foundation, June 24, 2021
When kids are given freedom to explore, there can be significant brain growth and personal development. -Adiaha Spinks-Franklin, M.D., “How to Nurture Your Child’s Creativity and Imagination,” Parents, June 3, 2021
Encouraging activities that families undertake as part of their routines can enhance parent-child relationships, create stronger bonds, and promote children’s prosocial development. -George Kitsaras Ph.D., “Bedtime Routines for Children. Important, but Why?” Psychology Today, December 7, 2020
Made for curious kids and tired parents
Thingk is based on bedtime routines we did with our own kids. It helped us and we hope it will help you too.
