My Kid Built an App. Now What?

Your child just shipped their first idea. Here's the parent-safe next step.

The moment your child shows you something they built, the instinct is to share it with the whole world. Pause first.

Start by celebrating the build, not the outcome. Ask them what they learned, what was hard, and what they want to try next.

If you do decide to share, share a screenshot or short video rather than a live link with personal info. Use a display name, not a school name.
