bodhi.kids for schools
seven quiet minutes a day at home — a story, a feeling-word, a private written moment, one small intention.
your teachers prepare nothing, mark nothing, and lose no class time. the practice happens at home, in the family's own evening. a school shares its code, and may choose to staff a counsellor for the rare moment a child may need support. a partnership also carries commercial terms — we settle those with a school directly rather than publish them here.
what your school receives
teacher and principal dashboards · a parent code your community can use · a counsellor view for the rare moment a child may need support.
what we hold, and what we never hold
your school gives us no student roster. families join by their own choice, with your school's code — you send us no list, and we ask for none.
our aggregates cannot point at one child. word-level patterns appear only once at least 5 participating children stand behind them; below that we tell you we are holding them back, and show you nothing else.
if something a child writes suggests they may need support, that line enters a review queue, and an open flag appears on the parent's own dashboard. if your school has staffed a counsellor, that counsellor can read the line. if it has not, it stays with us.
a principal is never a recipient of a child's flag, and neither is a teacher. that is not a policy we keep; it is how the routing is built.
the largest and most careful look at school-based social-emotional learning pooled 424 studies from 53 countries and 575,361 students. it found real benefit, and it found it small: an overall effect of about 0.19 (Cipriano et al., 2023, Child Development). the companion analysis that isolates academic achievement found about 0.10 (Ha et al., 2025). earlier and narrower reviews reported more. the honest reading is that the direction is well established, the size is modest, and it depends heavily on how carefully a programme is actually run.
and no study has tested this particular practice — seven minutes a day, at home, with Indian children in classes 3 to 8 — against a comparison group. we will not tell you it has been proven. we can tell you what it is built from, and what we refuse to do.

words most met
a principal sees participation and words. never a line a child wrote.
the letter your school sends
a principal sends this under the school's own name, from the school's own address — there is no bodhi.kids masthead on it. this is the whole of it.
dear parents,
our school has begun practising with bodhi.kids — a seven-minute social-emotional practice children do at home, in their own evening. one short story, one feeling-word, a few lines a child writes privately, and one small intention. then it closes itself.
joining is entirely your choice. you join directly with our code — the school does not enrol you, and gives bodhi.kids no list of names.
what your child writes stays between the child and you. a teacher cannot read it, and neither can a principal. if something a child writes suggests they may need support, that line enters a review queue at bodhi.kids, and an open flag appears on your own dashboard. if our school has staffed a counsellor, that counsellor can read that line, and sees your child's name, class and section beside it.
the sharing setting is yours, and it does not cover the counsellor. if you switch on the optional sharing setting when you add your child, their teacher sees your child's name beside whether they practised that week — never anything they wrote. leave it off and no teacher sees your child by name. a flagged line still reaches our counsellor with your child's name on it, either way.
beginning at app.bodhi.kids opens a free trial. after that, keeping the practice going is a paid yearly subscription — the price is shown in the app before anything is paid.
our code is [your code]. you can begin at app.bodhi.kids.
with warmth,

partnership
we would rather show you than sell you. leave a note and we will walk you through a living dashboard, and answer what a partnership actually asks of your school.
