Elizabeth here, co-founder (and clinical child psychologist). Fair question. Catalin's post was about the engineering (he is my co-founder and our CTO), so the learning side got sh…

Hi! I'm Elizabeth (one of the co-founders of Ello). This is an interesting question. I actually think there is more overlap than people might assume, but it's a bit more because ad…

I’m curious why it has to be an either or? Spending 30 minutes with a tutor doesn’t deprive children of interaction with humans. If we can support a child’s learning (perhaps even …

Totally hear the concern. We have a few thoughts about this: 1). It's an AND not an OR for us. Ello doesn't replace parents at all. In fact, many parents use Ello WITH their kids a…

Thanks! And thanks again for the feedback.

Great feedback! We will think about this and perhaps do some testing around this language with our audience.

Right now we work closely with parents (checking in with them each month before the books ship out) to help guide them in making the decision around book choice. We also have a for…

Thanks for your comment! As of right now, We aren't a tool that diagnoses or assesses in a formal way (though we may move in that direction in the future). Research shows that the …

Thanks for the comment! We find that if a parent actually uses the product, and it changes their child's relationship with reading, Ello is quite sticky. Our biggest issues with ch…

Thanks for your input!

There are actually really clear guidelines on what is reportable and what is not. CPS generally can't and won't do anything beyond take a call if the content of the call doesn't su…

Thanks for being honest, and I am sorry you feel that way. You are welcome to learn more about our privacy policy. I have helped countless families through my career, and have an i…

To clarify, a mandated reporter is a person who has to disclose child abuse if a child is in danger. I think this is an important protection for children. These are the same standa…

Thanks - lots of parents say it saves them a ton of time. We have had parents say 'I don't have time to read 5 contradicting books on sleep and potty training, all saying their app…

Having children is absolutely a valuable experience! We definitely have coaches who have several children. I think this can cut both ways, though. I was a child psychologist before…

I appreciate this really important question. I think the same way that psychologists, therapists, and teachers do. There is absolutely something powerful about a shared cultural ex…

Thanks for sharing your experience. Alina is fantastic!

And, the parenting books by Emily Oster (Crib Sheet and Expecting Better - the latter is about pregnancy and the first early childhood).

Thank you for sharing your experience! The most rewarding part of this process has been seeing the way parents feel supported by our coaches, and they really are amazing.

Are you asking if there is a body of research about child development/sleep/behavior management/learning in children? Yes, there is. Yes, it is public (and diffuse). And it is ofte…

It would be awesome if we could figure out how to get insurance to cover this type of support. I also don't think it just replaces that. Parents spend a ton of money on books, cour…

Thanks for posting - very cool! Send us an email at founders@trustle.com :)

Amazing news! Let us know what you think - our infant sleep experts are pretty amazing! 6 weeks is really tiny, but I am confident our expert will talk you through a developmentall…

Lots of interesting points here! A few things as it relates to Trustle. We focus on children 0-5. The process with a teenager would require that the child be MUCH more involved (fa…

The stigma is hard. As a mental health professional I am biased, but I think the parents that come to us for support are some of the best parents I know! Curious, thoughtful, and i…
