Science & Trust
Trust starts with
showing our work.
You deserve to understand the guidance you use with your family. We show how we choose research, turn it into practical advice, and keep track of what changes.
See how we build guidanceHow we build guidance
From a research finding
to a useful next step.
We work through the evidence, the timing and the wording—so families can understand what matters and what to do.
Start with your child's stage.
We use developmental windows to guide the questions we ask and the topics we choose.
Why the first 400 weeks matter →Weigh the evidence.
We prioritize reviews of multiple studies and current professional guidance. We check who was studied, how, and whether findings agree.
How we assess sources →Make the guidance clear.
Our editorial checks cover the sources, the explanation and the suggested actions. When research is limited or mixed, we say so.
See a sample week →Show what changes.
We publish significant corrections and updates, explaining what changed, why, when and which guidance was affected.

Our public review page identifies the current reviewer or an open role. External expert review is recorded for the specific guidance reviewed.
These are 36 review areas, not 36 appointed advisors. A listed area does not establish external review of every recommendation.
Our research commitment
Helping fund
what comes next.
One-third of revenue funds developmental science research.
Our scientific advisors direct grants to qualifying research institutions and programs of their choice. Grants go to the institution or program, supporting research the advisor wants to advance.
How the funding commitment works
The revenue base includes subscriptions and business or sponsorship arrangements, including sponsored lifetime access. Only actual platform and payment-processing fees are deducted; operating costs do not reduce the base.
The pool is exactly one-third of that base. It is calculated for each calendar year and paid within 90 days after year-end. There is no minimum, cap or advance funding. A zero or negative base creates no pool for that period.
Allocations follow modules assigned for review, never approvals or favorable findings. Recipients must be qualifying 501(c)(3) organizations or accredited research institutions. Advisors disclose relevant conflicts and recuse from affected content reviews.
Funding research does not give recipients access to families’ personal information or enroll any family in a study.

For guidance with a confirmed public record, a matching digital fingerprint confirms the recorded version. It does not establish accuracy, expert review or health benefits.
View published content records →Your family's privacy
Your family's activity
stays private.
Doctors, hospitals, nonprofits and other referring or sponsoring organizations do not receive identifiable family app activity. Reports for those organizations must combine information without identifying families.
Research funding does not give recipients access to families' personal information or enroll any family in a study.
