For parents of kids ages 3 to 9
A child reads inside a tent by lamplight; night and moon outside the window
A familiar night

You're doing everything you can.

ou speak softly. You sit close. You hold a hand for as long as it takes.

And still the blanket goes over the head, the toothpaste comes back out, and "no" answers every "let's".

This isn't about you doing something wrong. Adult words just can't compete with what a child feels inside.

Stories can.

But they hear a story where they are the hero.

How it works

How a midnight worry becomes a cartoon by morning

Open notebook with a hand-drawn doorway, a fountain pen, and a cup of tea
01

You write one line

"Scared to sleep alone." No forms, no checklists. TEKA takes over.

  1. 02

    TEKA writes the script

    Picks a metaphor, brings in your child's favorite hero, builds an arc from worry to a win.

  2. 03

    You approve the story

    Read the script in a minute. Rendering only starts after your yes — no surprises on your child's screen.

  3. 04

    Cartoon ready by morning

    In a kid's player — no ads, no other people's feed. Just this story, as many times as needed.

Inside the tent

We know what you type at midnight

Themes TEKA already handles well. The list grows every week.

A boy in pyjamas holds a small lantern in a dark room

Afraid of the dark

Night fears, monsters, won't fall asleep alone.

A mother holds a newborn in an armchair as the older child sits on the rug

New sibling jealousy

"You don't love me anymore", tears over attention.

A toddler on a stool at the bathroom sink, holding a toothbrush

Won't brush teeth

The morning and evening battle of brush and paste.

A sad boy hugs his knees, leaves swirling in a halo around him

Tantrums

Big emotions a child doesn't yet know how to name.

A boy with a stuffed bunny at the doctor's, who holds a small lantern

Fear of doctors

The shot, the check-up, the white coat.

Two children sit on a rug, sharing a wooden toy duck

Won't share

"Mine!", playground and daycare conflicts.

A boy stands at a door, looking down a hallway

Separation anxiety

Tears at the daycare door, panic when mom leaves.

A small example

Mia. Afraid of the dark.

How one worry becomes three frames a child asks for again.

A girl sits up in bed in a dark room; night beyond the door
01A dark room — scary alone.
A girl smiles at a friendly lamp with a hand-drawn face
02The lamp turns out to be a friend.
A girl sleeps in bed beside her stuffed bunny; moon and stars outside
03Mia falls asleep. Morning: "play it again."

The final cartoon is longer — these are storyboard frames.

Parent questions

Is this safe for my child?
TEKA is built around child privacy. COPPA, GDPR-K and FZ-152: nothing about your child is processed without your active consent. Biometrics (if you upload a photo) are encrypted with a key unique to your family and deleted after rendering.
What if the AI invents something off?
Every script runs through safety filters before any rendering. You see the script and approve it before the cartoon is made. No surprises on your child's screen.
How long does it take?
From a few minutes to about half an hour, depending on length and style. We push you a notification when it's ready — go live your life meanwhile.
What ages does this fit?
Best for ages 3 to 9. Younger kids get shorter, simpler stories; older kids get deeper arcs.
Does this replace talking to my child?
No, and it shouldn't. TEKA is a bridge. Often after watching, a child starts talking about what's bothering them — and that's where the real conversation begins.
What if they want to watch forever?
The kid's player has no other content and no infinite feed. You set the time limits, we enforce them.
