Four questions, then your steps in order: the health card, the waiting period, the child benefit, school and child care.
39 weeks: how the baby grows, what you may feel, the appointments not to miss.
The SOGC count and Québec public health’s rule, on your phone, kept on your phone.
One tap each, shared live with the other parent, the grandparents or the babysitter.

01 · Week 4 → birth
Every week from 4 to 42: what is growing, what you may feel, what to ask at the next appointment. And the warning signs (reduced movement, bleeding) answered with the number to call, before anything else.

The fourth trimester, at any hour. A night mode with no blue light for the 3 am feed, and a fever under three months is treated as the emergency it is, every time.

The firsts go on the timeline as they happen (the first purée, the first tooth, the first night through) with the measurements from each visit beside them.

04 · 1 → 3 years
Big feelings and first words. Ask about the third tantrum this week and the answer already knows about the new daycare: because it remembers what you told it.
On the timeline2 years · “again!”, forty times
05 · 3 → 6 years
Independence, friendships, getting ready for school. The questions get harder; the record of who your child has been so far makes the answers fit them.
On the timeline4 years · rode without training wheels
06 · 6 → 12 years
Homework, friendships, a first phone. Where other apps stopped years ago, the same record keeps going, and still remembers the preemie who needed corrected age.
On the timeline9 years · a first sleepover, a first phone call home

Identity, independence, staying connected. The Childhood Journal stays on the parent’s side, and if a question mentions self-harm, the crisis line for where you live comes first.
On the timeline14 years · taller than Mom
Everything you note (the birth, the measurements, the daycare start, last week’s worry) goes onto one timeline. Before answering, The Childhood Journal reads the part that matters. A general assistant answers a stranger. The Childhood Journal answers about your child.
Amine’s timeline
He’s waking up at night again. Is that normal?
It often is, and the timing fits. Starting daycare in March is one of the most common reasons sleep slips for a few weeks.
Since Amine was born at 34 weeks, compare him with his corrected age, not his birthday: about six weeks younger for sleep milestones.
What to try first: keep the bedtime routine identical on daycare days and at home.

Some questions are emergencies: a fever in a baby under three months, a pregnancy with no movement, blue lips. Every question is checked against rules written and reviewed as code: if one matches, the emergency card comes first, with the right numbers for your province or territory. The AI only reinforces it. A language model never decides whether an emergency is an emergency.
My 6-week-old has a fever of 38.4. Can I wait until morning?
Fever in a young baby
A temperature of 38°C or above in a baby under three months is treated as an emergency, even if they seem otherwise well. Young babies can deteriorate quickly and need to be seen straight away: do not give paracetamol and wait.
Call now: Emergency 911.
This card is produced by The Childhood Journal’s actual safety code.
3:12
Night mode takes out every trace of blue light and every white surface: a warm near-black, and amber text that still reads at 13 : 1 with half-closed eyes. It can also follow the clock: night from 10 pm to 6 am.
Health information is kept only with your express consent: asked on its own, never inside the terms. Built for Québec’s Law 25 and Canada’s privacy law.
Read the privacy policyNo. It gives general, evidence-based information and keeps your family’s record. It never diagnoses, never suggests medication or doses, and never estimates the risk of your particular pregnancy or child. For a symptom, ask your doctor, midwife or pediatrician.
If a question describes a possible emergency, The Childhood Journal shows the emergency card first, with the numbers for your province or territory: 911, your nurse line, the poison centre, the 988 crisis line. In Nunavut, where there is no 911, it says so and tells you who to call instead. It cannot call for help for you: if in doubt, call first.
Yes, for good: your child’s timeline, the trackers, the Canada guide, the tools and 3 questions a day, with no card. Pro adds more questions, more children and the family features. The emergency card is never behind a paywall.
You. Answers are written by an AI provider bound by contract, which receives the question and a summary of the timeline: never your child’s first name, and never for training. We do not sell or advertise.
Yes. Settings lets you download everything as a file, or delete your account and all its data, yourself and at once.
Pro holds up to 3 children, each with their own timeline and their own pencil colour.
French, English, Spanish and Arabic: the app, the answers, the emergency cards and the emails. More will follow, for the communities that make Canada.
A due date or a birthday is enough to begin. Everything after that, The Childhood Journal remembers.
