Guides for parents
Practical guides for story time, home language, bedtime and the hour that usually becomes a feed.
Guide
Screen time alternatives for kids
Practical swaps for the hour that usually becomes a phone. For parents of children aged 3 to 10, without a made-up limit that fits every child.
Guide
A story, not a feed
What changes when a child listens, speaks and chooses, instead of watching the next video start itself. Active, not passive.
Guide
Mother-tongue learning at home
How to keep Hindi, Telugu or Kannada in the week when English runs school. A household plan, not a fluency promise.
Guide
A bedtime routine that can hold
A short bedtime sequence with a story that ends. Built for real evenings in India and for Indian families abroad, not for a perfect nursery.
Guide
Vocabulary from stories, not flashcards
How children aged 3 to 10 meet new words in a story and actually use them the next day, without a flashcard session at bedtime.
Ages 3–5
Stories for ages 3 to 5
Short voice stories for 3, 4 and 5 year olds. Repetition, concrete questions, and a screen that does not keep going. Meera, in Minie's world, is 4.
Ages 6–8
Stories for ages 6 to 8
Stories for 6, 7 and 8 year olds who can follow a plot, argue about fair, and also operate a phone. Tara, in Minie's world, is 6.
Ages 9–10
Stories for ages 9 to 10
Longer voice stories for 9 and 10 year olds, who can predict an ending and are also old enough for reels to get sticky. Kabir, in Minie's world, is 9.
Active, not passive. These guides are for the real evening: a late dinner, a shared phone, a child who answers in English, a story that should finish. Hey Minie uses a screen. The child is supposed to listen, speak and choose.
