Someone in a game or chat writes something unkind.. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Sometimes I play a game or use a chat. Sometimes a person there writes unkind words.
2. Unkind words can sting, even through a screen. My hurt feeling is real, and it makes sense.
3. I might wonder why they did it.
Why would someone be unkind online?
They are having a bad day and spilling it on others.
They think it is a joke, but it is not funny.
They act tough online in ways they never would in person.
We do not have enough information to know.
💡 Their unkind words are about their choices, not about my worth.
4. The plan is simple. I stop. I do not write unkind words back. I tell a trusted adult. Telling an adult about online meanness is always the right move.
5. I can show a grown-up what happened.
6. I can always close the screen. The moment the screen is off, their words stop arriving. My real day, and my real people, are still here.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
