When Charly evaluates a website or prepares a report, she doesn't guess. She consults four of the most respected child development frameworks in the world — calibrated to your child's exact date of birth.
Every decision Charly makes is informed by all four frameworks simultaneously.
Piaget mapped how children think at each stage of development — what concepts they can grasp, what is too abstract, and when their reasoning fundamentally changes. Charly uses this to calibrate the complexity of content and conversation for your child's exact cognitive stage.
The AAP sets the gold standard for screen time, content exposure, and digital safety by age. Charly applies these guidelines not as blunt age cutoffs but as developmental benchmarks — understanding that a child's readiness changes month by month, not year by year.
The most trusted independent source for age-appropriate content ratings. Charly cross-references Common Sense Media standards to evaluate not just whether content is harmful, but whether it is developmentally appropriate for a child at your child's exact stage.
The CDC's developmental milestones and child safety guidelines inform how Charly thinks about risk — physical, emotional, and psychological — at each stage of childhood. What is age-appropriate exposure versus what could cause real harm.
The same content can be appropriate or inappropriate depending on the child's exact developmental stage. Here is how Charly thinks:
The combination of these four frameworks applied simultaneously to a child's exact date of birth — not their age in years — is a novel approach to child safety technology. No other parental control product in the world does this.
