“Built by a mother and educator who understands the challenges children face when living between two homes.”

— Bianca Tsakissiris, Founder & CEO of OurBridgeKids

“Because children don’t choose separation,
but they deserve support through it.”

OurBridgeKids is a child-first platform — not another co-parenting tool. We exist to give children a voice during one of the most significant transitions of their lives.

The Challenge

Children shouldn't have to carry the weight of two worlds alone

When children move between households, they often struggle to express what they're feeling — and caregivers struggle to understand. The emotional gap between homes can go unseen for months.

Silent emotional struggles

Research shows 67% of children in multi-household families experience elevated anxiety around transitions, yet most never tell either parent how they truly feel.

Communication gaps between homes

Caregivers in separate households rarely have a shared picture of a child's emotional state. Important insights stay siloed — and patterns go unnoticed.

Impacts on school and relationships

Unaddressed transition stress manifests as behavioural changes at school, withdrawal from friendships, and difficulty concentrating — often misread as attitude problems.

Our Approach

A bridge between every home that matters to your child

OurBridgeKids creates a shared emotional language across households. Children check in using simple, age-appropriate tools. Caregivers receive meaningful insights. Together, you build continuity.

  • Daily emotional check-ins designed for children aged 4–17
  • Shared visibility for all authorised caregivers
  • AI-powered trend detection and early-warning insights
  • Clinician dashboards with consent-based data sharing
  • Transition planning tools to reduce handover anxiety
  • Secure messaging that keeps communication child-centred

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Can't find your answer? Reach out to our team.

Yes. Child safety is our highest priority. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP), COPPA in the US, and GDPR for European users. All child data is encrypted, never sold, and only accessible to explicitly authorised caregivers. Our platform was reviewed by a child safety advisory board before launch.
OurBridgeKids works even if only one caregiver participates. A single parent can still track emotional check-ins, view insights, and support their child's wellbeing. If and when the other household joins, they can be connected and given appropriate access permissions.
We use age-appropriate check-in formats — emoji scales for young children, mood wheels for older kids, and optional voice or text notes for teenagers. Check-ins take under 60 seconds and are designed to feel natural, not clinical. Children can also flag if they don't want to share a response with specific adults.
Yes. Family Plus subscribers can invite clinicians directly to a read-only professional portal. You control exactly what data they can access, and consent can be revoked at any time. Your therapist can generate session-prep reports from within the platform.
Yes — both Premium Family and Family Simply choose a plan that suits your family and sign up — you can get started in minutes. If you're a clinician or family service provider, contact us about our extended 30-day professional trial.
