   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 short shrift :). Here's what it actually looks like

   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 adaptability to various approaches to learning is pa

   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 more efficiently) doesn’t it give them more time to do that?

   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 and report that Ello has opened the doors to th

   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 form parents can send to the teachers. In the future, we will

   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 number of children who read for pleasure is the lowest

   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 churn are related to cost of the product and activation

    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 suggest a valid safety concern and meet the gu

    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 incredibly deep respect for parents who seek support. I al

    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 standards any psychologist, therapist, school, pediatrician etc.

    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 approach is the best one.' We can help parents

    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 had my own children. I don't think it dramaticall

    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 experience with a provider, and we are keeping diversity on

    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 often misinterpreted and over/under-state

    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, courses, etc. There is also the time factor (we save p

    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 developmentally appropriate plan that takes into account your infants fee

    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 (family therapy would be appropriate). With very young chil

    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 interested in working with someone to develop a thoughtful

    Maybe I can try :). I think there is a distinction between philosophy and evidence-based advice and information. For example, there is evidence from research that spanking has negative consequences on development - so we would lead with t

    Thanks for the suggestion! We do have a single call option, and you can purchase those on an as needed basis without a subscription (but the "pack" idea is really interesting!).

    Yes - all of our providers are mandated reporters. We also have manuals and trainings on this process and procedure (but as licensed professionals, they are very familiar with this process, as it is a required part of being a licensed prov
