I'm a parent of two children who are now teenagers. When they were younger, from about ages 1 to 14, I spent a lot of time telling them bedtime stories — especially stories with moral dilemmas or thought-provoking situations.
Those moments often became interactive conversations. My kids would ask questions about fairness, courage, honesty, or difficult choices. Sometimes their questions surprised me and I didn't always have perfect answers, but I was happy they were thinking deeply.
Because of my consulting job I travelled frequently, but even then I tried to call them at night and tell a short story. Looking back now, I strongly believe those storytelling moments — often in our native language — helped shape their confidence, empathy, and decision-making.
Last year I started wondering how this kind of storytelling experience could be made easier for other parents.
So I built a small app called DeeeVee.
The idea is simple:
Short bedtime stories built around values like courage, honesty, kindness, and responsibility
Stories can be narrated in a parent's or grandparent's voice
Available in many languages, which also helps families maintain their native language
Each story ends with a few reflection questions to encourage conversation between parents and children
My hope is that it can help parents continue the kinds of conversations at home that teachers often start in the classroom.
DeeeVee is still very early, and I'm looking for parents willing to test it and give honest feedback so I can improve it.
If you think some parents in your community might find it useful, or if you'd like to take a look yourself, you can see it here:

This is a small personal project I've been building in my spare time, but I truly hope it can help parents create meaningful conversations with their children.
Thank you for the work you do every day with students.
Best regards
