Cozi helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Organization: Applying organizational strategies to daily activities.

Family calendar apps with built-in To Do lists are a great way to practice using organizational skills in the real world. Because the app is used by everyone in the family more or less every day/week, the organizational skills needed to keep a calendar current are constantly being reinforced and encouraged by others. For users who struggle with organization, start by adding one or two events a week and making a list of things to pack for school, soccer practice, etc. Gradually build up to adding your whole schedule to the app and using it to keep track of all your supply lists. 

Planning: Planning for daily activities. 

Keeping track of what events are going on in your day to day life is an essential part of planning. Family calendars are great for planning because you are able to see not only your own events but those of everyone else in your family. For example, if you need a ride to soccer practice but see that your mother has a late meeting that day, you know you need to make arrangements some other way. Adding your own events to the calendar also lets other people in your family know what important things are coming up for you, like a big test or recital. For users who struggle with planning, using the app as a whole family and checking in with each other at the beginning of the day can help reinforce this skill.
