Plantie helps kids practice and improve the following skills:

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

Plantie is a great way for the user to practice their focusing skills by helping turn their mobile device into a distraction-free focus timer. When the app is set to its default settings, any navigation away from the Plantie app will break focus and cause the user to start the timer over again. The user will also not earn any coins for the time that they did focus before they navigated away from the app. For players who struggle with focus or might need a gentler approach to using a focus timer, the app offers two other ways to focus; by allowing 30 seconds to navigate away and then return to the app or to let the user navigate away and return freely without losing progress. 

Time Management: Being efficient and aware of our use of time and effort.

Plantie is also a good way for users to practice their time management skills by putting a timed component onto their daily tasks. Plantie also offers the user a timer for breaks in between the timed tasks to teach the user about the importance of pausing after the completion of a task and before starting another. For users who struggle with time management, starting small with ten minute tasks and taking breaks in between each one can be a way to build up to earning more coins and unlocking more badges and different rarer types of trees.
