Teenage Development Aid App
At whatever stage of life, one is in;
we all encounter several hitches that we may not know how to address. These
challenges can either mold us into better people in future or destroy us
depending on how we handle them when they present. It is for this reason that I
would love to start an app that helps teenagers to navigate through their
teenage stage. As we all know, teenagers are young adults who are struggling
with a new phase of life that prepares them for new responsibilities. It is,
therefore, the most turbulent phase of life.
This app will mostly target the
teenagers, their parents, and developmental psychologists. With the increase in
technology, most children have computers and other communication gadgets that
they can use to download the app. Here they can type in their questions and get
answers instantly.
At this stage, teenagers border between
adults and children. They, therefore, are obliged make a distinction of who
they are. Psychologically, they now begin to understand the repercussions of
their actions and decisions both now and in future. Hence they make more
realistic decisions based on their conscience. Physically they start to
experience body changes that could be disturbing. They often find themselves
questioning some of the changes, and others have no clue how to embrace
them. This transitioning would be a
little easier if they had a place to run to for advice and directions.
Professionally, the app will provide an
interaction platform where developmental psychologists are able to interact
with their clients. Teenagers may tend to hold up information on a one on one
interaction. However, behind the screen, they are able to open up more to their
counselors. The application will also help psychologists who cannot be able to
set up an office to attend to their clients online hence cost effective.
In conclusion, this application will
bring a revolutionary change to teenage development to both parents and the
teenagers.

In the contemporary world,
smartphones and their apps have become our way of life. The most important apps
of today, however, are those that enhance our lives and are therefore
beneficial. The prenatal development app for expectant mothers is a very
lucrative and beneficial one. Personally, I like the purpose of building this
app which is to make the pregnancy experience great in all the possible ways
for both the mother and the child. The most important part is that it can serve
pregnant moms from all walks of life and all ages and help them do what is
right for their condition. This has much to do with the general well-being of
pregnant women which is crucial for them and their unborn baby regardless of
the help be it physically, spiritually, mentally or emotionally. The idea of
including the best types of foods to eat is also very useful as this matters as
far as the development of the fetus is concerned. As Nevid (2015) puts it, “a
pregnant woman requires adequate nutrition for the health of the fetus as well
as her own†(p.324). Inspirational Scriptures can come in handy to kick out
boredom and comfort pregnant women when they’re in solitude while strengthening
their faith and sanity at the same time. Similarly, activities such as games
among others would help keep the stress levels of expectant mothers down since
frustrations are not conducive to their unborn babies.
The flexibility of this app
and its diverse list of things found in various categories of this app is also
a vibrant idea. This means the app can assist any pregnant woman in need
regardless of the solution they are trying to find. In matters regarding
questions expectant mothers might have, a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page
would be prudent. Useful information in the form of suggestions according to
what the user feels is equally important to expectant mothers. This would work
best on areas like food nutrition, regular exercises and things to do when
stressed or in pain. All in all, the app sounds great to me.

I have to admit that
creativity is evident in this app. The idea generated here can be useful in filling
a gap in an untapped area. I’m sure most parents (especially young ones and
first timers) in the modern world have difficulty raising their children since
they have no experience at all. This app would be an opportunity for such
parents to have a forum they can learn from and raise their kids better
especially in a healthy manner. This would be a solution to any worries or
questions these first-time parents may be having as far as the growth and early
development of the child is concerned. As you have mentioned the period between
the ages of birth and preschool years, I couldn’t help but think that these are
the years during which babies need critical care as they develop while learning
how to speak or even walk. Most first time parents would have a problem finding
out what the kid wants especially when they cry for no reason because they do
not talk until several years pass. The app sounds great if it addresses issues
to do with the way babies react to life changes, environments or situations
rather than providing confirmation of day to day milestones.
If it has to offer support
and relief to first-time parents, then that means it has to provide useful tips
and information that these parents can utilize to raise their kids better.
Using the child’s age and narrowing down to an area of interest to get precise
information can be a plus. Using age can be easier to navigate since the ages
here will be few (up to preschool age). The privacy is also paramount since
it’s also true that some users would not want to be seen as parents who do not
know how to raise a child. However, I doubt if doctors would use this app.
Indeed, this app can be such a great investment if developed well and can save
on costs.
