As a Mom I am always on the hunt for things that will not only make time with my kids even more fun but ways that they can learn and grow at the same time. With kids sometimes starting a conversation up that involves more then “yes” and “no” answers can be tough and I know it is important for me as a Mom to make sure I start conversations flowing between us when they are young so that it carries on to the rough tween and teen years that follow.
As a parent I am sometimes so focused on making sure the food, clothing needs are met, the bills are paid, homework is done and the fun interaction is done with them that meaningful conversation topics gets pushed back. Yes we talk all thru out the day when they are home or we are doing something fun, but not all of it is meaningful conversation and we need more of that. It is the meaningful conversations that I have with my kids now that I know will open the door ways to the harder topics later on.
With that I want you all to meet Povi. First off he is super cute! (or you can make Povi a she 😉 ) The new way us moms can get meaningful conversations started with our kids without the awkwardness!
Ok so what is a Povi?
- Povi is designed to help parents raise happier, caring and confident children, Povi is an EQ (emotional quotient) content platform + app with content sourced from experts and a huggable storytelling buddy as the delivery tool.
- Loaded with real-life stories children can relate to and endless conversation starters, Povi helps parent and child establish a daily habit of thoughtful conversation that in turn helps children develop crucial social-emotional skills
- Povi comes with 10 pre-downloaded stories and a free app (available for Android or iOS) featuring additional questions parents can ask related to the stories and 20 additional stories that are age appropriate for each individual child. Parents can choose from among three levels, for ages 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. The stories are written and curated by experts including psychologists, teachers and parents.
- Povi is not designed to be played with alone, but rather always with a parent on hand to discuss the challenges presented and come up with possible solutions with their child.
How does Povi Work?
– Listen to a Povi Conversation Starter.
– Let your child engage with the story and Povi’s challenge.
– Guide the conversation along using questions from the Povi App.
– Allow your child to set the pace and suggest solutions.

Terri Beavers says
This is really cute and I love that it includes real-life stories. I think kids relate to those better than make belief at times. I’ll have to check out the kickstarter program.
Jeanette says
Interesting toy! I have never heard of this toy before. Some life lessons are good to learn at a childs level!
Christy Maurer says
That is seriously cool! I think it would be a real help for therapists as well. Back in the “old” days, i know they always said to use puppets and dolls to start conversations that were difficult.
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
That is such a great idea. Sometimes it can be hard to get a conversation going but something cute like that is a great way to get them jabbering.
Jennifer Van Huss says
In a technology world, I think this is the best way to start uncomfortable converstations with !! It is so cute!

That is such an interesting toy and very cute too. I would love to get one of these for my daughters. I think this could actually help out a lot. I love it!

This is a facinating toy. I will have to share this with my friends with little ones.
ashley says
This seems like such a cool toy! I’m due next month and would love to have something like this for her as she grows older. Can’t wait to check this out!
Travel Blogger says
Being a military family I find that unfortunately our children go through a quite a bit of turmoil between missing out on family events, separation from their dad, moving away from friends ect. This tool would be so valuable.

Povi is super cute. I have never seen this before. I can see where it would be helpful to start important conversations with your children.
William Sweeney says
What a fun toy for kids! I love that there are options like this to help kids talk about complicated topics.
Jamie says
This is a very neat idea. My son could’ve benefited from something like this a few years ago. He’s a typical boy and gets awkward when you try to have deep conversations.
Amy @ Marvelous Mommy says
Very neat, what will they come up with next?! My youngest daughter would love Povi.
Ashleigh @Dash of Evans says
How cute is this?! I think this would be great for dinner table conversations! My 3 little ones would love Povi!
Mimi Green says
I’ve never heard of anything like this but I like the sound of it. I think conversation starters make the discussions flow a bit easier. I would get this for my 4 year old.
Jessica Simms says
Povi looks and sounds like so much fun, I would love to see how my kids would react to Povi’s conversation starters.
