For Kids: A revolutionary, science-based storytelling experience.
More than a time capsule. It’s a mirror for their growth—and a gift for the future.
StoryQ For Youth
StoryQ for Youth is a guided, science-backed storytelling experience that grows alongside your child. Through annual, one-on-one video interviews, we capture who they are becoming—from kindergarten through graduation.
-
Upon sign up, we’ll gather a bit of info about you and your family to help prepare the custom interview(s). Scheduled interviews are 90+ minutes and led by a StoryQ Method-trained Personal Story Mentor
The Process
-
Upon interview completion, your personal story mentor (and new friend) will work closely with a dedicated professional editor, incorporating curated music and supplied photos into the edit(s).
-
We’ll create individual films for each participant as well as a collective “Family Voice” film (optional). Upon completion, they will be delivered to you via video download. Keep it private or share with your people- your story is yours to do with as you like.
Why People Choose StoryQ
As kids grow, their inner world is rich and ever-changing. StoryQ helps preserve those perspectives—while building skills they’ll carry for life.
Parents often say the StoryQ experience becomes a family ritual—something to look forward to each year, and a legacy to treasure forever.
