MoodMosaic

MoodMosaic is a mobile app for kids (8–13) that turns daily feelings into a simple “mood mosaic” using quick, age-appropriate prompts and emoji-free language options for kids who find emojis confusing. It includes short, evidence-informed coping activities (breathing, grounding, worry time, gratitude, conflict scripts) designed to be completed in 2–5 minutes. A parent/guardian companion view shows trends and red-flag signals (sleep issues, persistent sadness, bullying indicators) without exposing the child’s private journal text, reducing the chance kids stop using it. If risk signals cross a threshold, the app escalates with clear next steps: talk prompts, school counselor guidance, and local crisis resources. This is not therapy and doesn’t pretend to be; it’s a lightweight early-warning and skills practice tool that fits real family routines.
