Liu shows up across Kidley for the whole family. A quiet anchor for the parent. A small friend for the child. The same character, growing alongside both of you.
Because parents already feel like they're trying to manage a small wild thing, and because tigers are what small kids are drawn to. We wanted a mascot that wasn't sweet or saccharine but also wasn't sharp. A tiger cub is what we landed on. Capable of big feelings. Capable of patience. Capable of going to bed.
A quiet visual for the parent. A small character for the child. The bridge between you.
For the parent
Liu shows up beside every protocol, every script, every reset, to say "the calm thing is happening here" without writing a paragraph about it.
In the breathing tool, he sits in lotus pose inside an orange orb. Your nervous system has something to follow.
For the child
Liu's the character your child will meet inside upcoming storybooks, bedtime audio, calm games, and short videos that walk through the same moments you've practised.
When the protocol says "tigers go to bed at 7", the child knows who that is. The script becomes a small story you both already trust.
This is the actual tool from inside Kidley, running right here on this page. Tap the orb to begin. Watch Liu meditate while your breath slows. Box-breath: 4 in, 4 hold, 6 out, 2 rest.

Greeting you the moment you open the app each day.
Lotus pose while you breathe with the circle.
Beside every chapter with a small note of warmth.
Next to the anchor script on every protocol page.
When it's empty, telling you it's okay to start small.
Shoes-on, coats-on, out-the-door protocols.
Mealtime scripts and the daily question of the day.
Reminding you the science is gentle, not heavy.
Quietly thanking you for showing up today.
Liu is short, kind, multilingual, and easy for a tired adult to say out loud at 11pm; and easy for a three-year-old to pronounce. It's not an acronym. It's just a small word for a small character that's meant to be a small reminder.
