Nowhere are kids and teens asked key life questions on a regular basis—questions like what they care most about, who they love, what they’re afraid of, and who they want to be.

When given the chance to answer these questions annually, kids and teens gain self-awareness and tend to make better choices, helping them run the gauntlet of adolescence.

 

 

How do we help our children find themselves before they lose themselves?

As parents, we know that our children live with many big issues that provoke fear and anxiety. We are partnering with The 5000 Days Project, which has been helping children for the last 17 years to understand what they’re feeling and why they’re feeling it.

By giving your children the chance to ask challenging questions of themselves on a regular basis within the privacy of the StoryQ kiosk, and especially at the least self-aware period of their lives, you can give them the gift of fully expressing themselves in a safe setting. By encouraging them to verbalize everything they are feeling you can help your child to not only build their self-knowledge but also increase their emotional intelligence. 

And at the end, you’ll have a priceless time capsule of your child’s life.

 
 

Our Evidence Based Approach

The StoryQ methodology has been developed and constantly refined over the past 17 years by a The 5000 Days Project and their team of neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers, including Dr. John Medina (author of Brain Rules).

 As clinical studies show, a healthy EQ is key to academic and lifelong skills. 

Watch a short animation on how The 5000 Days Project’s flagship program, The Student Annual Journal, works for participants.

How it Works

The StoryQ kiosk offers a variety of programs including, but not limited to, The Student Annual Video Journal, The Anytime Check In, and Restorative Justice.

The flagship program, The Student Annual Journal, involves in-depth, private interviews with students. At least once a year, participants scan their “ticket” to unlock an automated and completely private video interview. Age-specific interviews take 30-40 minutes to complete, and after the last question, the video footage is safely and securely stored to thecloud.

What Kids Are Saying

Watch 5000 Days Project participants discuss their experience using the StoryQ as a safe, private, and judgement-free space to talk.

What Educators Are Saying

Justin Robinson, the Director of The Institute of Positive Education, shares his observations on the value of verbal journaling and how the StoryQ has been benefiting his students since 2017.

Testimonials

 
Even if you can’t save time in a bottle, The 5000 Days Project captured something just as precious: the little girl giggle-stories, the pre-teen insights, and the adolescent angst and thoughtfulness of my (now) adult daughter. Watching her ups, downs, trials, and joys stream together on video still brings tears to my eyes when I see it. I can only imagine what it will mean to her future children when she chooses to show them.

I’m a psychologist and parent of pre-teen and teenage children. At work and home I am acutely aware of the issues young people face in all spheres of their life. In my association with the project (both as a parent, and links with other children involved in the project), I believe the program provides a unique and invaluable opportunity for young people to reflect upon these issues, develop insight, and thus enable them to cope with challenges they face: they are truly richer for the experience.

My son Joshua has been part of the project for the last 5 years... It is nothing short of brilliant in the way the project facilitates emotional resilience and self awareness within the kids. By creating a safe environment that allows kids to truly express how they feel and by combining this with potent questions that stimulate self-inquiry and self-expression, it creates a foundation for kids to get clarity on what can often be a very confusing world…
— A. Houlahan, Parent at Byron Bay Public
This has had a profound impact on our son. It has enabled him to really open up, reflect, and think deeply about life, his hopes and dreams, the fears, and pressures that children are faced with as they grow up in today’s society, becoming more aware of himself and who he really is. It has built his self confidence, his willingness to take on new challenges, and helped make important decisions giving him positive self direction. We are so grateful that our son has had the opportunity to be a part of this incredible project which I feel would benefit every child.
— K. Dean, Parent
