Me: A Kid’s Diary by Tinybop, £2.99, Apple

This interactive app will inspire your child to learn more about themselves and the people around them. It’s designed to build self-awareness, self-confidence, empathy and kindness through a range of different journaling techniques.

Children start by creating their own avatar, personalising it with their skin colour, hairstyle, eye colour, and so on. They then click the thought cloud, which unleashes a new question or prompt to encourage them to think about who they are and what makes them tick.

Prompts include: ‘this is my favourite place to hide,’ ‘this is my favourite book,’ ‘this is what I really want for my birthday,’ and ‘this is what my family will look like when I grow up.’ They can record their answers in a whole host of different ways, including drawings, photos, text, animations and voice recordings.

These are all stored on a ‘map’ of who they are, and they can click each pinpoint to read or edit their previous answers. There are hundreds of questions in all, allowing your child to build a fully interactive profile and grow in their sense of identity.
