S’moresUp (smoresUp.com), a family app that uses Silicon Valley tools like like data-driven decisions and predictive analysis to help 200,000 family members optimize their household and teach their kids critical life skills by using behavior analysis, has just launched its Premium offering as it transitions into “Smart Parenting.”

Modern technology and software development has changed at lighting speed, but parenting hasn’t caught up. Parents are still using dry erase boards, printable charts, markers and stickers and ideas from past decades to teach kids critical life lessons like financial management, self-discipline, forming good habits, and online safety. What’s more, it’s challenging for non digital native parents from earlier generations to know how to manage modern screen time.

Now boasting a 4.5-star rating on both Android and iOS and growing to 200,000 family members in just one year, the latest S’moresUp app Premium offering launches a new “Digital Health” category to teach kids how to self-manage screen time, based on safe screen time recommendation from the Academy of Pediatrics; Sets reminders or reassigns chores to a single or a group of family members; Establishes “Clear Rewards” that teaches responsibility with a penalty for late completion; Creates birds eye view of goals and rewards history to analyze long term behavioral trends like speed of task, completion to set long term goals and seeing where kids are struggling the most, and much more.

“We created this app out of necessity,” said Priya Rajendran, CEO, and Co-Founder of S’moresUp, and single working mom of a teenager. “Silicon Valley has been using and perfecting these tools for years but when I was looking for a similar tool to manage my family, I couldn’t find one. So we built one trying to solve the problems I was seeing in my household, and are now perfecting it using the feedback from our users who are parents.”
