Kai's 100 day journey: From Bedtime Struggles to Self-Regulation Success
For many parents, bedtime can be one of the most emotionally charged moments of the day - especially when children struggle with self-regulation, anxiety, or conditions like ADHD. For Kai’s family, this used to be the case every night.
“Kai used to need me to stay in the room for him to fall asleep, but since using Stix, that’s completely changed. He’s really proud of himself for that, and I’m very relieved.”
Kai is one of our most dedicated Stix users. In fact, he recently hit a 100-day streak - a huge milestone that shows just how consistently Stix has become part of his daily routine. While we’re still working on our own German lessons (with far less consistency 😅), Kai’s commitment is something we’re genuinely inspired by.
Helping Kids with ADHD Thrive
Stix was originally created to support children struggling with big emotion, especially those with ADHD, like our co-founder Liam’s younger brother. Kids with ADHD often face unique challenges when it comes to emotional regulation, sensory overload, and winding down at the end of the day.
Kai’s journey is proof of how simple, interactive tools, designed with neurodiverse children in mind — can make a real difference in day-to-day life.
Always Listening, Always Innovating
Kai was such an enthusiastic user of our original content that we invited him to beta test Stix Plus — our upcoming launch of 99+ new exercises. These include activities specifically designed to support bedtime routines, helping to boost confidence, and helping children transition from high energy to calm focus with ease.
Our goal has always been to create something that’s more than just a mindfulness tool. We want Stix to feel like a companion for kids, helping them navigate emotional ups and downs independently, and at their own pace.
And we’re always learning. Every child like Kai helps us refine and improve what we offer. Whether it’s adding new content, enhancing our app, or rethinking how we support different neurotypes — we’re committed to continuous innovation.
