How MiniMoods Works
A complete guide to tracking behaviour, awarding stars, and celebrating your child's wins. Everything you need to know in one place.
Your Dashboard at a Glance
The moment you log in you see everything that matters. Each child has their own card showing today's star progress, current streak, weekly mood summary, and quick actions. It's your command centre for positive parenting.
- ✓See all your children in one view
- ✓Weekly star totals and mood insights
- ✓Quick links to diary, monthly view, and settings
Set Up Your Star Chart
Choose from over 80 ready-made behaviours or create your own. Each day, a fresh chart is created automatically with the behaviours you've picked. Set how many stars your child needs to earn to complete their daily chart.
- ✓80+ suggested behaviours across categories
- ✓Custom behaviours with your own icons
- ✓Positive behaviours earn stars, negative ones remove them
Award Stars Throughout the Day
As your child completes behaviours, simply tap to award a star. Watch the progress bar fill up and celebrate when they hit their daily target with a confetti explosion! You can also remove stars for tricky moments.
- ✓One-tap star awarding
- ✓Live progress bar with star count
- ✓Confetti celebration when the chart is complete
Track Moods and Keep a Diary

- ✓5 mood levels from Amazing to Sad
- ✓Inline editing with autosave
- ✓30-day mood trend chart and keyword search
Your Child's Own Page
Every child gets a special share link to a kid-friendly page they can check on any device. They'll see their stars for today, current streak, weekly stats, achievements, and a mood picker to say how they're feeling.
- ✓Kid-friendly design with big, tappable elements
- ✓Works on phones, tablets, and computers

- ✓Full month calendar with star counts
- ✓Mood indicators on each day
- ✓Quick navigation between months
Earn Achievements and Badges
As your child builds streaks, earns stars, and logs moods, they unlock achievement badges automatically. These milestones celebrate their progress and give them extra motivation to keep going.
- ✓Streak milestones (3, 7, 14, 30 days)
- ✓Star count achievements
- ✓Automatic unlocking with celebrations
Set Bonus Goals with Rewards
Create bonus reward charts for bigger goals. Set a target like "15 stars = trip to the cinema" and watch your child work toward it across multiple days. Completed goals are celebrated and saved in their achievements.
- ✓Custom goal names and star targets
- ✓Choose a reward icon and description
- ✓Progress visible on dashboard and kid page
Tips for Success
Get the most out of MiniMoods with these tried-and-tested tips.
Start Small
Pick 3–5 behaviours to track at first. You can always add more as routines become habits.
Talk About Stars
Review the chart together at bedtime. Celebrate what went well and talk through tricky moments.
Keep It Consistent
Try to award stars at the same time each day. Routine builds the habit for both of you.
Celebrate Streaks
Make a fuss when streaks hit milestones. A 7-day streak is a big deal!
Use the Diary
Even a quick sentence captures the day. You'll love looking back at these memories.
Share with Family
Send the kid page link to grandparents. Kids love knowing that others are watching their progress.
