Parent questions

Clear answers before you create a story for your child.

Is it private?

Yes. Child profiles use first name, age, story pronouns, and optional companion details. Situation details and stories are saved under the parent account, and trusted service providers receive only the minimum needed to generate them.

Is it safe for children?

Mirror Story is COPPA-conscious. Children never create accounts. Situation details and generated stories are screened with automated safety checks to help keep content age-appropriate and are saved under your parent account.

What ages is it for?

Mirror Story is designed for children aged 4-10, though many parents use it for children up to 12.

How fast does it work?

From situation details to a personalized story in a couple of minutes.

Help your child feel understood tonight.

Share the moment, get a gentle story, and use the parent notes to keep the conversation going.
