Kidpick: Empowering Young Decision-Makers One Review at a Time

7 min read,

Kidpick revolutionizes the way kids make their choices. It empowers them.

Parents have the responsibility to raise their children into confident and responsible adults. And, confident and responsible adults are great decision-makers.

So, how about you start fostering that skill in your kid on time? Sure, you won’t push them to make, say, college decisions at the age of 5. But, you can start small. You can start slowly, with those everyday, mundane things. Such as, where to eat tonight.

Remember, though, that this is not about encouraging your kids to simply make any kind of a decision. It is about encouraging them to make the right one. And, it is with kidpick.me that you can make that happen.

How Kids Got Their Own Trip Advisor

Send a big shout out to the .MErs that have recognized the need for making children’s voices count.

Noticing that adults have all the right tools to help them make traveling and dining out decisions, this team of professionals had a thought. Why shouldn’t kids get the same chance?

Coming to that realization, the team made a decision themselves. In short, they decided to make an app that matters. An app where the voices of children matter.

Like Trip Advisor, but for kids!

Thus, Kidpick was born – an app for kids, by kids! A place where children can share their reviews of restaurants, activities and attractions. And a place where they can find other kids’ reviews and be more confident when deciding where to go next.

Kidpick Inspiring Critical Thinking and Encouraging Responsibility

Kidpick is a tool families can find great use of when looking for venues catering to their youngest members. But, it is much more than that. It does much more than that.

With colorful visuals and other fun features, this app knows how to keep our youngest engaged. And, it does so for a great purpose.

In few words, it inspires critical thinking. Through evaluating their experiences with certain venues, children learn to take various meaningful factors into account. From entertainment options and food quality, to overall enjoyment… They think about everything.

Put simply, they don’t just react. They respond. So, this is an app that encourages thoughtful consideration.

Furthermore, the app fosters personal responsibility, and instills a sense of responsibility towards the community. Knowing that their reviews help others, kids take them seriously.

There’s a lesson here that extends beyond the platform. A lesson that goes far beyond from learning how to make smart decisions.

In short, the sense of responsibility that Kidpick instills teaches children about the importance of contributing positively to the community. And, a community-oriented child is sure to grow up into a community-oriented adult.

The Features

Kidpick is designed with young users in mind. For one thing, it is easy to navigate. Then, filled with engaging visuals and fun features, it keeps children interested. It encourages them to learn from their peers, and to share their helpful thoughts. All while being perfectly safe on the platform.

Clearly, Kidpick brings a lot to the table. So, let’s talk about the features.

Review Exploration Making Decisions Easier

Being a thoughtful decision maker doesn’t just come out of nowhere. It is a skill that has to be learned. And, Kidpick provides children with an easy way to master it.

Through exploring the reviews shared by other kids, our youngest find it easier to make their decision on where to dine out, what to visit next. More importantly, they learn to value the opinions of others, and broaden their own perspectives.

What may be the biggest takeaway here, however, is this. Kidpick teaches children to get help when they need it. To rely on others while also becoming independent individuals.

And, this is a lesson we all could use. So, how about we take a page out of our kids’ book, out of Kidpick for that matter? How about we all remind ourselves of the importance of relying on others, and having others rely on us? In the end, it is human connection that matters most in the adult world.

A Gamified System Making Decisions Fun

For children, fun is pretty much everything. And, parents don’t always have it easy when trying to make learning valuable skills fun.

Luckily, Kidpick has you covered.

With the power of gamification, this app keeps children engaged and entertained, all while teaching them valuable skills. Kids earn points through submitting reviews, and they unlock badges and rewards as they keep contributing.

So, Kidpick turns the act of decision-making into a fun and exciting game, further fostering this skill in your kid.

Peaking Behind the Scene With Kidpick

With success in mind, these .MErs decided to promote themselves through platforms such as YouTube, and TikTok.

But, they did it with a twist.

In short, these are not your ordinary TikTok and YouTube channels. Instead, Kidpick runs channels that allow children to take a sneak peek at the venues they’re thinking of visiting.

So, you get to see “behind the scene videos”, which is sure to help in the decision making process.

And, while this feature does serve as a great promotional tool for KidPick, its primary purpose remains. It supports kids on their decision-making journeys.

Prioritizing Privacy

For children to safely participate in an online community, the community has to play its part in protecting them.

Well, Kidpick certainly does that. Implementing robust privacy measures, this app prioritizes safety.

Basically, kids can share their thoughts and reviews completely anonymously. Kidpick does not collect their personal information, thus giving parents some peace of mind, ensuring their kids’ safety online.

Turning Your Teens Into Volunteens

To further instill that sense of community involvement and belonging, Kidpick has shifted away from venue reviews, but only to make something amazing.

Sure, the reviews are still the biggest part of the platform.

But, these .MErs decided to take things a step further and support meaningful community engagement. Hence, VolunTeens comes to the scene – an app aimed at channeling youthful enthusiasm towards community service.

It helps children easily find volunteering opportunities that align with their interests and their schedules.

Building on the foundation of Kidpick, VolunTeens retains the youth-centric design, using gamification and other features to keep kids engaged.

And, it encourages them to grow into socially responsible, aware, and empathetic adults.

Kidpick & .ME

Behind every great idea, there is a great partner to support it.

For Kidpick, with its emphasis on empowering kids to build their personal identities, .ME was the logical choice. It was a choice that further underlined their purpose and that aligned perfectly with their values.

Celebrating unique perspectives, Kidpick chose a domain extension that does the same. And created a website that matters.

Let us, thus, celebrate a partnership that lasts. A partnership that is making a great social impact.

Think Kid-Friendly, Think Kidpick

Let’s give a hearty round of applause for Kidpick – an app that is making a difference. A platform that is making children’s voices heard. And that is empowering them to make smart decisions, through inspiring critical thinking and encouraging responsibility.

Kidpick is what happens when you combine a sense of social responsibility with a deep care for the young generations.

So, when you think kid-friendly, think Kidpick.
