What parents ask us.

Is The Childhood Journal a doctor?

No. It gives general, evidence-based information and keeps your family’s record. It never diagnoses, never suggests medication or doses, and never estimates the risk of your particular pregnancy or child. For a symptom, ask your doctor, midwife or pediatrician.

What happens in an emergency?

If a question describes a possible emergency, The Childhood Journal shows the emergency card first, with the numbers for your province or territory: 911, your nurse line, the poison centre, the 988 crisis line. In Nunavut, where there is no 911, it says so and tells you who to call instead. It cannot call for help for you: if in doubt, call first.

Is it really free?

Yes, for good: your child’s timeline, the trackers, the Canada guide, the tools and 3 questions a day, with no card. Pro adds more questions, more children and the family features. The emergency card is never behind a paywall.

Who can see what I write?

You. Answers are written by an AI provider bound by contract, which receives the question and a summary of the timeline: never your child’s first name, and never for training. We do not sell or advertise.

Can I leave with my data?

Yes. Settings lets you download everything as a file, or delete your account and all its data, yourself and at once.

Several children?

Pro holds up to 3 children, each with their own timeline and their own pencil colour.

Which languages?

French, English, Spanish and Arabic: the app, the answers, the emergency cards and the emails. More will follow, for the communities that make Canada.
