Kindling - - An emotionally intelligent app for parents and teens

Parenting today is harder than ever. Long hours, digital distractions, and shifting family structures leave parents and teens disconnected — even when everyone's trying their best. Most parenting apps track schedules. Kindling builds connection — smart reminders, empathetic conversation starters for hard topics, and personalized engagement that adapts to your family. Backed by real workshops with licensed psychologists and 600+ families. Kindling doesn't replace parenting. It strengthens it.

Hey Product Hunt I'm Mehak, founder of Kindling. I built this after running 10+ in-person workshops with schools and NGOs, working directly with 600+ families to understand what actually breaks down between parents and their adolescent kids — and it's rarely one big blowup. It's the small daily communication gaps that pile up. Kindling is our attempt to fix that with something practical: conversation starters for hard topics, gentle nudges at the right moments, quick activity prompts, and check-ins that help families actually talk to each other - paired with real workshops led by licensed psychologists, not just an app. We're live on Google Play right now, and I'd love for you to try it out - even just five minutes with it will show you exactly what we're building. And we're still early, so I'd genuinely love your feedback too - especially from parents of tweens/teens here. What's the hardest part of staying connected with your kid day-to-day?
