Whether you're navigating speech delays, tricky emotions, picky eating, or simply looking to connect more deeply with your child — Nookly is here to help. It’s your all-in-one space to find answers, create personalized content, and turn chaos into calm. Here’s a quick guide to help you explore everything you can do, and how to make the most of it.

🚀 First, Build Your Kiddo’s World

When you first log in to Nookly, you’ll begin by creating a child profile. This is what unlocks all the personalization magic.

You’ll be able to add:

  • Their name, age, and interests

  • Visual details like hair type, eye color, body type, and fun accessories (like glasses or headbands)

  • And decide how they'll be represented in all their personalized creations

✨ Once your child profile is set, everything, from parenting tips to printable content, will be tailored to that specific child. No generic advice. Just support that feels right for your actual family.

👶 Got more than one child?

You can create as many profiles as you need. Think of it like switching Netflix accounts: when you toggle to another child’s profile, everything updates automatically to match their stage, needs, and goals.

So whether you’re caring for a 3-year-old learning how to handle big feelings or a 7-year-old working on friendships, your Nook will always meet you where you are.

🛠️ And don’t worry: you can edit or update profiles anytime as your child grows or changes.

For each child profile you create, you'll find a "Curated Just For You" resource section that's personalized based on the age, interests, and needs you added when setting up their profile. The content is handpicked to match their current stage and support their growth, and as your child grows or their needs change, so will their recommendations. It’s your evolving shelf of support — made just for your child.


🎯 Then, Choose the Type of Support You Need

Once your child’s profile is ready, you’ll always land on their personalized profile. From here, you can choose your next step — depending on the support you need on any day.

🔍 Ask Anything

This is your go-to when you have a question — big or small. You’ll get evidence-based, non-judgmental guidance, with the option to turn that advice into a practical resource.

🗨️ Try asking:

  • “How do I support picky eating without a power struggle?”

  • “What’s a good bedtime routine for a sensory-sensitive 4-year-old?”

  • “How can I help my child during a meltdown?”

You’ll get:

  • Calm, practical strategies backed by child development research

  • Personalized content recommendations

  • Credible sources (like CDC parenting guidelines)

  • Tools you can instantly generate, including:

    • Social stories

    • Songs

    • Visual routines

    • First-then boards

    • SEL (Emotion) cards

    • Picture cards

📥 Everything is saved to your child's Nook for easy reuse, editing, or printing.
