Daily guidance that
reflects your family
When the usual parenting advice doesn't fit, Thistle helps you figure out what will — one day at a time.

You've read the books. You've tried the strategies. But your child's nervous system doesn't follow the script — and most parenting advice wasn't written for your family.
Thistle was built for the days when you're not sure what to try next.
Log what you notice. Get guidance that fits.
Log your day
Spend a couple of minutes noting what happened — mood, energy, moments that stood out. Sliders, tags, and free text. Whatever feels easy.
Thistle reads the room
Your logs, your child's profile, and their recent history come together as guidance that reflects what's actually going on — not generic parenting advice.
A guide, waiting for you
Each morning you get a short, specific guide for the day ahead. Delivered in-app, by email, or by push notification — on your schedule.
Tools that work with your week, not against it
Daily guides
Each morning, a short guide built from what you logged — not generic tips, but a plan that reflects your family's actual week.
Weekly summaries
A clear recap of the week you can share directly with your child's OT or therapist. No re-explaining, no starting from scratch.
Ask anything
A question about your child, answered by something that already knows their patterns, their triggers, and what's been working. Up to 10 times a day.
Multi-child support
One guide that holds all your children in view, with rotating focus so no one's needs get lost in the shuffle.
Built with privacy as a constant, not an afterthought
You're sharing details about your child's hardest days. We built every layer of Thistle around that responsibility.
- Child names are scrubbed before any data reaches an AI model
- Every generated guide passes through a safety review pipeline
- No data is sold, shared with advertisers, or used to train models

Built by parents, with clinical guidance.
Thistle is a small, independent product — built in Vermont by parents who needed something like this, and an occupational therapist who works with children every day.
