Mindpiece helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

Focus: Developing a longer attention span. 

Writing and maintaining a journal is a good way for children to practice focusing skills. Writing about daily life or events that interest them is a good way to maintain focus and gradually increase the amount of time they are able to dedicate to a task. Starting out with shorter entries, users can then work their way up to longer entries with more complex topics or multiple entries in one day depending on whether or not their moods shift or several big things occur. 

Self-Awareness: Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings.

The AI features in Mindpiece are designed to help provide the user with insight into their moods and the patterns that occur in their writing. For users who struggle with self-awareness and putting words to their emotions, the app can help them make sense of their behaviors and feelings by allowing them to see which words and topics come up frequently in their journaling. By using the keyword search function, they can also look at all journal entries which feature specific words. So for example, if a user wants to look up posts where they felt angry, they can locate that word in the search function and it will pull up all the entries featuring that word. The user can then re-read through their entries and maybe begin to form a pattern in their mind for why they were feeling this particular way.
