Because raising a child doesn’t come with a manual.
As seen in
Support that meets you in the moment
For every “I don’t know what to say”, Sonny for Parents & Educators is here with answers that help.

✔ Backed by leading research

Our coaching is inspired by the work of top psychologists and parenting experts such as Dr. Becky Kennedy, Lisa Damour, and Dan Siegel.

✔ Short, clear answers

Easy to understand, grounded in trusted science, and designed for real life

✔ Emotionally intelligent, not clinical

Sonny meets you with empathy, not diagnoses. You get compassionate responses that help you show up for your kid with confidence.

Rooted in research. Designed for real life
Our coaching framework is shaped by decades of adolescent development research and real-world parenting psychology.
Our approach centers relationships, emotional safety, self-awareness, and language that helps adults respond more calmly, set clear boundaries, and strengthen connection over time.
When you chat with Sonny, you're interacting with an AI-powered parent assistant trained on vetted evidence-based resources. The guidance you receive is grounded in research and designed to offer practical, developmentally-informed support that be can used right away.
Sonny is independently developed and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the individuals listed above. We reference their publicly available research to inform our internal coaching model.
Get guidance in seconds, not sessions
Short expert-informed support that helps you move forward with confidence.
There’s no shortage of advice out there. But most of it is hard to access, hard to apply, or just not made for the moment you’re in. Here’s how Sonny stacks up:
Sonny is designed to complement, not replace, clinical care. We’re here to support, not diagnose.
