Turn big feelings into bonding

When a child has a tantrum, their nervous system is overloaded. The first step is not to fix the behavior, but to help their body feel safe again.

• Calm the body: Take a slow breath, keep your voice low, and make sure your child and the space around them are safe.
• Name the feeling: "Your body is so tight. You're really angry right now." Naming what you see lowers shame.

How Mishami helps:
When the storm has passed, Mishami creates a personalized story about a character with the same big feelings. Reading it together helps your child understand what happened, and the Parent Card gives you simple tips to cope next time.

Anxiety often shows up as tears, clinginess, or "what if…?" questions. Instead of saying "Don't worry," try to validate the feeling first.

• Validate: "You feel really nervous about this. It makes sense that you're scared."
• Support: "I'm with you. Let's see what might help."

How Mishami helps:
You describe the specific worry (e.g., "afraid of a new class"), and Mishami generates a gentle story. The story gives your child safe language for their fear, while you get a clear script and small steps to support them.

Fear of the dark or sleeping alone is very common between 3 and 8 years old. Instead of pushing your child to "be brave," focus on building safety.

• Create a ritual: Keep lights low and follow the same steps every night (bath, story, bed). Predictability calms the body.
• Make a plan: "Night-time feels scary for you. Let's make a plan together."

How Mishami helps:
Use Mishami as part of your bedtime ritual. A story about a hero who finds comfort in the dark helps your child feel seen, and the Parent Card offers soothing practices (like a simple breathing game) to reduce tension before sleep.

If a doctor rules out medical issues, repeated stomach aches are often a biological reaction to stress or anxiety. The pain is real, but the cause is emotional.

• Listen gently: Ask, "If your tummy could talk, what would it say?" and give time for an answer.
• Don't rush to fix: Just being heard can reduce the tension in their body.

How Mishami helps:
Mishami creates a story where a hero feels that same "tummy butterfly." This helps your child notice the link between feelings and their body, so the pain becomes less frightening and easier to talk about.

Jealousy is normal, even if it's hard to watch. It often comes from a fear of losing connection with you.

• Validate, don't shame: Instead of "You must love your brother," try: "It's tough when the baby gets so much attention. Part of you is angry."
• Reconnect: Even 10 minutes of one-on-one time can rebuild security.

How Mishami helps:
A story about a character who feels pushed aside lets your child think, "I'm allowed to feel this." The Parent Card suggests tiny rituals (like "our 10-minute only-us time") that rebuild your bond without guilt.

After a move, separation, illness, or other stress, regression is a way for the nervous system to seek safety. It is not a step backward; it is a request for care.

• Accept the need: "Some parts of you feel little again. That's okay. I'm here."
• Offer warmth: Keep routines, add extra hugs, and reduce demands for a while.

How Mishami helps:
Stories can gently reflect what happened, showing characters who are cared for after something scary. This normalizes the regression and gives you language for it.
Note: If regression is very strong or linked to trauma, please consult a professional. Mishami supports everyday emotional conversations, but does not replace therapy.

Mishami is a web app that creates short, personalized emotion-focused stories based on your child's real life.

• How it works: You describe the situation (e.g., "Noah hits when he's frustrated"), and Mishami generates a gentle story with a similar hero.
• The benefit: Your child sees their feelings from a safe distance, and you receive a Parent Card with specific phrases and actions to handle similar moments with confidence.

Mishami is designed for children aged 3 to 8.

• Ages 3–4: Stories are shorter and focus on basic emotions (sad, mad, scared) and body feelings.
• Ages 5–8: Stories can tackle school, friendships, self-esteem, and more complex situations.

At any age, you (the parent) reading aloud are the emotional anchor, while Mishami provides the language.
