Mood check – Track Your Child's Wellbeing Through Daily Routines
How is your child really feeling before the evening routine starts? And how do they feel afterwards? With Humörkoll in Rutinhjälpen, you get answers – without having to ask.
What is Mood check?
Mood check is a simple feature that lets your child rate their emotional state in connection with their routines. The child chooses from five emoji expressions – from sad to very happy – and with just one tap, the feeling is saved.
It requires no words. It takes no more than five seconds. But over time, it can provide valuable insight into how your child is feeling in their everyday life.
How it works
As a parent or caregiver, you enable Mood check in the settings for a routine group. You choose:
- When it should appear – before the routine group, after, or both
- How often – every day, every week, every two weeks, or once a month
- Which day – if you choose weekly or less often, you can select a specific day of the week
The child is then met with the question "How are you feeling right now?" with five emojis to choose from. When the routine group is complete, the question appears again: "How do you feel now?"
Why it matters
Children don't always have words for their feelings. Tapping an emoji is a simple way to communicate without pressure. As an adult, you can then spot patterns: Is your child always in a good mood after the morning routine? Does their mood dip before bedtime? Is there a difference between weekdays and weekends?
In your history view in the app, you see the mood as an emoji pair – how it was before and after the routine group – and can follow the development day by day.
Small effort, big insight
Mood check is not a clinical measurement tool. It is a simple way to keep an eye on your child's wellbeing in everyday life – and perhaps start conversations about how the day has felt.
Try enabling Mood check for one of your child's routine groups and see what you discover.
