Bluebird helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Planning: Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Creating a to-do list is a great way for users who struggle with planning to practice this executive function skill in a step-by-step process. In the Bluebird app, the user adds a task and then assigns it priority, meaning they need to know how important it is to complete this task over others. For users who struggle with planning, starting with a few to-do items can be helpful before the user feels comfortable moving on to larger, more complex projects. 

Focus: Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

Using a focus timer is a great way to practice maintaining effort to the task at hand. The Bluebird app has a built-in focus timer that can be used for specific tasks or just for focusing in general. For users who struggle with focus, starting with a short, five minute task and then working up to longer tasks with breaks in between can help practice this skill without the user feeling overwhelmed and quitting the task altogether.
