Character texts for your family: The Family plan: one theme for everyone, written for each age

When everyone is busy and on their phone, real conversations get rare. Each week everyone in the family gets the same theme, written for their age, so there's something real to talk about at dinner.

Free trial: Coming soon

14 days free if you're new, then $16.58 a month billed yearly (save 34%), or $25 month to month. Cancel anytime.

Who it's for

Kids, teens and the grown-ups

Everyone in your home can join: your spouse or partner, kids 8 and up, teens, and anyone else who lives with you.

  • For your kids, 8 to 12

    Short, warm reflections about kindness, honesty, mistakes and courage, sent to their phone or to yours to read together. Kids' reflections are one-way, with no login and no journal.

  • For your teen, 13 to 17

    Reflections about friends, pressure, identity and hard days, honest rather than preachy. No reflections go to a teen until the teen replies YES to join.

  • For you and other adults

    Reflections for your stage of life, from young adult to later life, and a private journal for each adult and teen.

What parents see. Parents always see the reflections their teen gets and the week's theme, so there's always something to talk about together. A teen's journal stays their own.

What stays private, and what parents see

Example week. Theme: Integrity and Character

Same theme. Every age.

Every reflection is written for the person reading it: short and warm for kids, honest for teens, real for grown-ups. On your own, you get one written for your life. With the Family plan, everyone in your family gets the same theme, in words that fit them.

Tom, 42Real life, real stakes

If you knew no one would ever find out, what would you do? Maybe the cashier hands you a ten instead of a five, there's a shopping cart you could leave in the lot, or part of the job nobody checks.

What's one thing you'll do right today, even though no one will ever know?

Noah, 10Short and warm

If the teacher stepped out, would you keep working or start goofing off? Lots of kids would be tempted. Doing right when no grown-up is looking is what character means. It can be as small as cleaning up when no one asked.

What's one good thing you'll do today that nobody will see?

Emma, 15Honest, never preachy

If you knew nobody would ever find out, what would you do? Look at a friend's answers when the teacher steps out? Keep the extra change? Skip the last lap when the coach turns away? Everyone's tempted sometimes. That's normal.

Family dinner, with the Family plan

Then everyone brings it to the table.

Ask "what did yours say?" and for once, everybody has an answer. With the Family plan, each week comes with a question to start the conversation, so you're never stuck with "How was school?" "Fine."

Dinner question: Integrity and Character

What is one thing you did this week that nobody saw, but you are glad you did?

  • One theme a week for the whole family
  • A dinner question that works for every age
  • A conversation starter for each child

ExampleWhat dinner can sound like: Integrity and Character

I put back the extra cookie at lunch. Nobody would have known.

Noah, 10

Someone left their phone in the locker room. I took it to the office instead of leaving it.

Emma, 15

A customer overpaid me by forty dollars today. I called him back.

Tom, Dad

I told my team the mistake was mine before anyone asked.
