FAQ.
Tap any question to open the answer. The most common questions parents ask, grouped by topic.
How long does the quiz take?
About 25 to 35 minutes. There are 100 questions. Most are quick multiple choice. A few at the end are open-ended where you can tell me more. You can use voice-to-text if it's easier.
How much does it cost?
It's free for the first 500 parents. After that, reports will be priced. Same quality, same depth, same personalisation. The first 500 are free because I'm building this with parents and your feedback is what makes it better.
What ages is this for?
Children aged 2 to 6. The questions cover a wide developmental range, so don't worry if your child is at the younger or older end. The scoring adjusts for age.
When will I get my report?
Within a few minutes of submitting the quiz. I'll email you a private link. Save the link, you can come back to it any time. Share it with your partner, your nanny, your paediatrician, whoever helps with your kid.
What do I actually need to do?
Just answer the questions based on what you've actually seen your kid do. Not what you think they could do. Not what school says. Be honest. "Not yet" is as useful as "yes." Think of it as describing your kid to someone who's never met them.
"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. The report is built to give you the framing for things like this.
"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. The report gives you one shared picture 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. Tiger Kids maps across all 9 so you don't have to optimise for one system and 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. Tiger Kids gives you 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, just "I want to know." That's exactly who this is for.
Why 9 frameworks? Isn't that overkill?
The 9 fall into three categories that do different jobs. Four benchmark against age expectations (CDC, EYFS, AEDC, ELOF). Two identify which learning windows are open right now (Montessori, Reggio). Three explain the patterns underneath (Piaget, Vygotsky, Asynchronous Development). You need all three categories to actually understand a kid. See the full breakdown.
How is it scored? Will I see numbers?
You'll see status labels, not numbers. Thriving, Strong, On track, Emerging, Worth exploring. Every label framed positively. You'll never read "behind" or "delayed." The scoring is done in code, deterministically, based on your answers and your child's age. The report explains what each label means in plain language.
How accurate is it?
It's as accurate as your observations. The questions are designed so that consistency across multiple angles surfaces real patterns and minimises the effect of one bad week or one good day. But Tiger Kids is parent-observation based, which means it's a complete picture of what you see, not a clinical assessment. If you're unsure of an answer, "I'm not sure" is a valid choice.
Should this replace my paediatrician?
No. This is not a clinical tool and it doesn't diagnose anything. It's a developmental-mapping tool built by a parent, for parents. If anything in the report raises a real concern, please talk to your child's paediatrician. The report is meant to help you have better conversations, not replace them.
What if my kid is still developing in some areas?
Every child is. The report is built to make that visible without alarm. "Emerging" and "Worth exploring" are framed as information, not warnings. Often they map to a sensitive period that's open and can be supported, or an asynchrony pattern that's totally normal at this age.
How is my data used?
Your responses are used only to generate your child's report. I do not share, sell, or publish individual data. Tiger Kids collects parent observations only, not data directly from children. Read the full privacy notice for the detail.
Will you share or sell my data?
No. I won't sell or share your individual data with anyone. The only place your data goes outside my system is to the AI service that helps generate the narrative parts of your report (Anthropic), and to the email service that sends your report link (Resend). Both are processors, not consumers of your data. Details in the privacy notice.
Can I delete my data later?
Yes. Email me at [email protected] with your report link or the email you used and I'll delete everything tied to your account. No hoops.
What happens after the first 500 free reports?
Reports become paid. Same depth, same personalisation, same frameworks. The first 500 are free because I'm using them to refine the methodology with real parent feedback. If you've taken the quiz in the free run, your report is yours to keep forever — the price change only applies to new reports.
Will there be activities or products later?
Yes. Every parent who gets their report asks the same question: "OK, but what do I actually do with this?" That's what I'm building next. The data from your kid's report turning into specific activities, resources, and experiences tailored to them. Eventually, a yellow box at your door with everything you need inside.
Will I be told when v2 launches?
If you've done the quiz, yes. You'll be on a small mailing list for major updates only. I don't spam. Roughly one update every few weeks, and only when something is actually ready.
Can I retake the quiz later?
Yes. Kids change fast at this age. A fresh report every 6-12 months is a useful way to track which windows have opened or closed and what's emerged.
