For parents.

UYB is not for monitoring your son or daughter. It is for understanding each other.

Parent care receipt

Care is not control.

Use this receipt before asking a child or teen to write. It keeps the adult role clear, calm, and accountable.

No monitoringUYB is not hidden access.

Do not use a journal to inspect, trap, surprise, or test a younger person.

Write tooBoth sides carry the question.

The adult writes their side too, and the reveal opens only after both people save.

SafetyPressure means pause.

If the moment becomes forced, unsafe, threatening, or urgent, stop UYB and use real-world help.

This parent care receipt is product guidance only. UYB is not surveillance, punishment, therapy, emergency support, custody advice, legal advice, diagnosis, or proof of guardian consent.

A softer start

You write too. They write too.

The question unlocks when both sides are ready. That keeps one person from holding all the power in the conversation.

What it protects

This is not a lecture.

There are no public feeds, comments, or direct replies in the reveal moment. Read first. Understand first.

A parent promise.

UYB works best when your child knows this is not surveillance, punishment, or a way to win the conversation.

Listen first

Use their words as information.

The reveal is a place to understand what they carried, not a place to correct every line.

Share power

Write your side too.

Both people answer the same guided question before the reveal opens. That keeps the process balanced.

Use care

Pause when safety is involved.

UYB is not emergency help, therapy, or crisis monitoring. If someone may be in danger, involve a trusted adult or local emergency support.

Use UYB for

  • one honest question at a time
  • slower repair after a hard moment
  • helping your child feel seen without being watched
  • reading before you respond

Do not use UYB for

  • secret monitoring or surprise check-ins
  • punishment, pressure, or forced confessions
  • proving who was right
  • emergencies, threats, or crisis care
Consent and care

Start with consent everyone can understand.

UYB should be used with clear permission, safe timing, and a trusted grown-up when a kid is involved.

Clear

Say what UYB is first.

It is a private shared journal with one guided question at a time. It is not a secret chat, hidden tracker, or punishment tool.

Choice

No one should feel trapped.

A kid, teen, or adult can pause, write one sentence, ask for help, or stop if the moment feels unsafe.

Grown-up

Use a safe adult for kid moments.

Kids should use UYB with a trusted grown-up who understands the privacy and safety rules.

Launch

Broad child-facing use needs review.

Before wide launch for children, UYB needs legal, privacy, and guardian-consent review outside the product.

do not use UYB for secret monitoringdo not force a child to confessdo not hide danger inside a private journaldo not treat UYB as therapy, crisis care, legal advice, or emergency help

UYB does not collect a birthday, create a public age label, or give hidden parent access. Consent and safety still need real-world adult care.

Choose the right start.

Use the shared journal when both people are ready. Use safety guidance when the situation needs real-world help.

Shared journal

Start one private relationship journal.

Create the journal, invite the other person, and let UYB choose the first shared question.

Safety

Know what UYB is not for.

Read the safety page before using UYB for anything involving danger, threats, abuse, or urgent care.

Read safety guidance

Start with one journal.

Create a private journal when both people know what UYB is for.
