Leave the thinking to us.
Smarter parenting starts here. We map your kid across 9 internationally recognised developmental frameworks so you can see exactly where they are, what's coming next, and what to do about it.
Free for the first 500 parents. 90 questions, 25-35 minutes. Yes, that's a lot. It's how we map your kid across 9 frameworks without guessing. See a sample report first if you want to know what you're in for. Best done after bedtime, with a cup of tea. Voice-to-text works.
You've Googled "is my kid on track" at least once. Probably at 11pm.
And the answer depended entirely on which framework you happened to land on. Montessori says one thing. The CDC says another. Your kid's school measures something else entirely. Your mum's group, the one place you actually trust, has dozens of opinions, because everyone's kid is in a different system.
The implicit message is always: pick one.
But no single framework gives you the complete picture. Montessori doesn't give you a checklist. EYFS doesn't track curiosity or initiative. The CDC milestones are a bare minimum health screen, not a development picture. Each one has blind spots. And if you only look through one lens, you miss things.
Tiger Kids says: why pick one? Map them all. See what each one catches that the others miss. Then decide what matters to you.
When you understand your kid, everything changes.
Your toddler insists on wrapping a hand towel around herself like a dress. She has an entire wardrobe of actual dresses. But no, it has to be the hand towel. And it keeps slipping. And she keeps trying to fix it. And it keeps slipping again. And now she's screaming. And you're standing there thinking: what the fuck? You have so many dresses. Why is this the hill we're dying on today?
You don't get it. Because it doesn't make any sense. Because they're toddlers.
But here's the thing. Toddlers are real little people with their own thoughts, their own ideas, their own things they're trying to get done. They just don't have the language to explain it to you, and half the time even if they could, it still wouldn't make sense to an adult brain. That's not them being difficult. That's them being 3.
The towel thing? I realise now my kid could imagine what she wanted it to look like. She could picture the dress in her head. But her fine motor and the actual physics of how towels work were not cooperating. She wasn't really having a tantrum about a towel. She was having a tantrum about the gap between what her brain can do and what her hands can do.
I didn't understand any of that until I ran the report on my own daughter. And then it was like: oh. OK. Now I know why.
And once I knew why, everything changed. Not just how I felt about it. What I actually did about it. Instead of saying "just wear a dress," I started problem-solving with her. How about a bigger towel? What about a clip so it doesn't slide down? Maybe try a different material? These aren't genius parenting moves. They're obvious. They're just only obvious once you understand what's actually going on.
I stopped trying to reason with her mid-meltdown and started co-regulating instead. I made a visual calm-down sheet. She actually uses it now. She points to what she needs.
The meltdowns didn't disappear. She's still 3. But I went from "what the fuck is happening?" to "OK, I know what this is and I know what to do." That's what understanding your kid actually gives you.
If any of these are running through your head right now, you're in the right place.
The report is built to answer the questions real parents are actually asking at 11pm. If any of these sound like you, keep reading.
"Why is my kid losing it because I cut the apple the wrong way?"
Your kid doesn't fit neatly. Wildly strong in some things, losing it over nothing in others. Maybe a teacher used a word you didn't like. The tantrums feel out of proportion and you've been trying to explain it to yourself and can't quite get there.
"I'm at work all day. How do I make sure my kid isn't falling behind?"
You've got a team around your kid. A nanny or caregiver, grandparents, a partner, sometimes split between cities. You want one plan everyone can follow, so the day doesn't fall apart the minute you're not there.
"We're between schools, countries, or systems. Which framework should I follow?"
Expat. Moving. Homeschool-curious. Your kid's next school might use a different framework. You don't want to optimise for one system and then find out the next one wants something else entirely.
"I want the best for my kid. What am I missing?"
You've done the research, compared the schools, maybe done a DNA test. You want a clearer view of your specific child than any of those has given you. And something concrete to do with it.
"Is my kid actually on track? Am I doing enough?"
Your kid seems fine. You just want an external read from someone who isn't trying to sell you a school or an agenda. Not anxious, more "I want to know."
Whichever question is yours, the report is built to answer it.
How it works
You observe
Yes, it's 90 questions. I know that sounds like a lot. That's how we map your kid across 9 frameworks without guessing. Every question is doing real work. We ask the same thing from a few different angles, so if you're remembering a particularly bad week or being overly optimistic on a good day, we catch it.
Answer based on what you've actually seen your kid do. Not what you think they could do. Not what school says. Most questions are quick multiple choice. A few at the end are open-ended. Use voice-to-text if it's easier. Just talk.
See a sample report →We map
We run your answers through 9 frameworks at once. Four benchmark your kid against age expectations. Two identify which learning windows are open right now. Three explain the patterns underneath. Together, they give you the most complete picture of your kid that exists outside a clinical setting.
You get your report
A personalised developmental profile of your kid, emailed to you. It shows where they're thriving, where they're on track, where the windows of opportunity are, and what to focus on next. Written for you, a parent, not for a clinician. No jargon. No alarm. No numbers. Just clarity.
9 frameworks. Not because more is better. Because they do different jobs.
Most tools benchmark your child against one system. Tiger Kids uses 9 because they fall into three categories, and you need all three to actually understand what's going on.
What's in the report
Your child's report is personalised. It's not a template with their name dropped in. It's built from their specific answers, scored against their specific age bracket, and written about them as an individual.
Want to see what it looks like?
A real report, anonymised, so you can see the level of detail before you start.
- OverviewThe big picture of your kid right now. Strengths first, patterns second.
- 11 developmental domainsLanguage, Cognitive, Literacy, Maths, Gross Motor, Fine Motor, Social Skills, Emotional Development, Creativity and Initiative, Independence, Understanding Others. Each one scored and interpreted.
- Status labels, not numbersThriving, Strong, On track, Emerging, Worth exploring. Every label framed positively. You'll never read "behind" or "delayed."
- Framework-by-framework breakdownWhat the CDC says, what EYFS says, what Montessori says, for each domain. You see exactly where each framework agrees and where they differ.
- Montessori sensitive periodsWhich learning windows are active right now for your kid's age, and whether they're being fed or need attention.
- Zone of Proximal DevelopmentWhat's too easy, what's the sweet spot, and what's too far ahead for your kid right now.
- Key strengthsThe top 3 things your kid is doing really well, with specific evidence from your answers.
- Windows of opportunityThe top 3 areas where focused input from you would make the biggest difference right now.
- Your concerns addressedIf you told me something worries you, I respond to it directly. I don't skip it.
- RecommendationsSpecific, actionable things you can do. Priority ordered.
- One-page summaryEverything at a glance. Print it, stick it on the fridge, share it with whoever is looking after your kid that day.
Not in the report
- No diagnosis or clinical assessment. I'm a parent, not a clinician.
- No percentages. You see labels, not numbers.
- No alarm. Every status level is framed as information, not a warning.
The report is just the beginning.
Right now, the report gives you the clearest developmental picture of your kid that exists outside a clinic. But every parent who gets their report asks the same question:
"OK, but what do I actually do with this?"
That's what we're building next. We'll take the data from your kid's report and turn it into specific activities, resources, and experiences tailored to them. And eventually: everything you need arrives at your door. A bright yellow box. Inside: the activity, the materials, the instructions. Ready to go.
You do the parenting. We'll do the thinking.
Ready?
The quiz takes about 25-35 minutes. You'll need to think about what your kid actually does, not what you think they could do. Be honest. "Not yet" is just as useful as "yes."
Your personalised report will be emailed to you.
After the first 500, reports will be priced at [PRICE]. Same quality, same depth, same personalisation. We're offering the first 500 free because we're building this with parents, and your feedback is what makes it better.
Why I built this
It started as a late-night rabbit hole. Over Christmas, some apparently new research came out from the Australian government, and buried inside it was a finding that kids going to childcare did worse than kids who stayed at home. My mum guilt kicked in immediately, even though my kid wasn't in childcare and we were actively considering our options. I went down the research rabbit hole. And then I found out that the influencer I'd been following had their own agenda and had misrepresented the data.
And I was like: I am so sick of this shit.
I am so sick of sweeping generalisations about what's good for your kids and what's not. I am so sick of being told to pick a system, pick a side, pick a philosophy, and then feeling like whatever I pick, my kid is behind on something.
At the same time, I was in a bunch of mums' groups. Some were about which schools their kids were going to. Some were homeschooling groups. And in all of them, the conversation always came back to: which framework are you using? Montessori or Reggio? EYFS or play-based? The implicit message was always: pick one, and build from there.
And I was like, well, why can't I just see what they all look like and then do my best to kind of replicate so that she's, like, well-rounded and can slot into any kind of system? What if I move countries and have to find a new school? What if the right system for right now isn't the right system in two years?
So basically that's what started this whole rabbit hole. I stopped asking "which framework is right?" and started asking "why do I need to pick just one?"
I started building something. Not a product. Just a thing for my own kid. I was already using Claude (the AI) to manage a ton of context about my daughter Mika. All the activities I'd designed for her, her routines, what she was into, what she was struggling with. I started asking it to take everything I knew about her and map it against all 9 frameworks.
And I was like, holy shit. It's actually making it easier for me. Like, I feel like I actually understand the kid in front of me now. She can't tell me these things, but I can see the patterns.
It's not a clinical tool by any means. It's more like, okay, I realise Mika really likes engineering stuff. I realise her fine motor is emerging and the Montessori writing window is open right now. I realise she can reason like a 5-year-old but regulate like a 3-year-old, and that's why the meltdowns feel so out of whack with the rest of her.
Mika was thriving in language, cognitive, and creative initiative. She was building these elaborate systems, like a flower-drying machine out of an upturned stool, a bowl of flowers, a tea towel, and a book with a button to "turn the machine on." Another day I set up a water activity with pipes outside, walked away, and came back five minutes later to find she'd attached a two-metre pipe to the tap and had our nanny inside filling bottles while she controlled the water flow. She was 3.
And then I was like: wait. Is this actually useful for other people?
I mentioned it to a friend. She wanted to try it for her kid. I asked Claude if we could turn it into something other parents could use. A quiz anyone could fill out about their own kid.
So I put together just, like, a quiz. 90 questions. I threw it into a baby group I'm in. I was like, just wondering, is anyone interested in this kind of thing or is it just me? There's only 60 parents in there. 30 of them reached out to ask to do the quiz. 25 of them did it. The response was insane.
Parents kept asking to share it. And every single one of them asked the same thing: "OK, but what do I actually do with this?"
It wasn't just mums. Early years educators in my network started engaging too. They asked thoughtful questions about how the math section worked and how I'd framed fine motor. A couple of them offered to help me review the methodology. One parent compared it to a genetic-talent test she'd paid 7,000 baht for and told me mine gave her something that one couldn't. Not a fixed readout of what her kid might one day be good at. An actual picture of who her kid is right now, and what to do with her next.
'Cause this literally started as, like, me solving my own problem. And it turns out a lot of parents have the same problem.
Want updates?
We're building Tiger Kids in the open. If you want to know when new stuff launches (activities, the yellow box, early access to v2), drop your email below. I don't spam. I send an update every few weeks, and usually only when something is actually ready.
Once you've taken the quiz and got your report, you'll also get a link to a small WhatsApp group where I chat directly with parents who are using the tool. That's invite-only on purpose. It's for people who've actually engaged with the report, not a public community.
