What is PrismaOrb?

PrismaOrb is an app designed to help parents guide their children through various aspects of life. It combines fun and responsibility by assigning activities across different life zones, such as education, health, and creativity. Children earn rewards like Gems and Coins as they complete tasks.

How do Life Zones work?

Life Zones represent different areas of a child's development, such as education, fun, family, and creativity. Each zone has activities that parents can assign to help balance the child’s routine. Some activities are essential, while others encourage growth in specific skills or interests.

What is your definition of well-being?

Well-being is a comprehensive and multifaceted state of being in which an individual experiences positive outcomes in various areas of life. It involves physical, emotional, mental, social, and sometimes spiritual health, where all these aspects contribute to a person’s overall quality of life. It is not just the absence of illness or difficulty, but a positive and balanced state that enables individuals to thrive, find fulfillment, and manage life’s challenges effectively.

Key Components of Well-being:

1. Physical Well-being: Good physical health, energy, fitness, and the ability to perform daily activities comfortably.
2. Emotional Well-being: The ability to manage emotions effectively, cope with stress, build resilience, and maintain a positive mindset.
3. Mental Well-being: Cognitive clarity, intellectual engagement, and the capacity to make sound decisions, manage stress, and maintain focus.
4. Social Well-being: Having meaningful relationships, a sense of belonging, social support, and positive interactions with others.
5. Spiritual Well-being: A sense of purpose, connection to something greater than oneself, alignment with personal values, and a deeper sense of meaning in life.
6. Financial and Career Well-being: Stability in managing personal finances, understanding economic concepts, and fulfillment in one’s professional or entrepreneurial pursuits.

Well-being reflects an individual’s ability to balance and harmonize these dimensions to live a fulfilling, purposeful, and healthy life. It’s a dynamic and ongoing process of growth and adaptation, rather than a static state.

What are Gems and Coins used for?

Gems and Coins are rewards earned by completing activities. Parents and children agree on the value of a Gem before starting the app. Coins can be accumulated and exchanged for Gems within the app, allowing children to unlock special activities or rewards.

What are Hearts and Stars?

Children start each day with 9 Stars to spend on activities. Once an activity is completed, one Star is used. Hearts represent critical tasks—if a child misses a heart-marked activity, they lose a heart. They start the week with 3 Hearts, and they are refreshed every week.

How does the Lucky Spin work?

The Lucky Spin is a hidden feature within some activities, defined by parents. Children don’t know which activities contain the spin, and it adds an element of surprise. The spin can lead to fun rewards, challenges, or even more activities.

Can I customize the activities for my child?

Yes, parents have full control over assigning activities within each Life Zone. You can set rewards, define critical tasks, and encourage growth in areas that matter most to your child.

What happens if my child runs out of Stars or Hearts?

If your child runs out of Stars for the day, they won’t be able to complete more activities. Similarly, if they run out of Hearts, they can only focus on heart-related tasks until they earn more Hearts the following week.

Can multiple children use the same account?

Each child will have their own account under the parent's profile, allowing parents to tailor activities and rewards to each child individually.

How are the Coins and Gems calculated?

The app keeps track of the amount of Coins and Gems a child earns. Parents can set the value and define when and how the child can exchange Coins for Gems, adding an extra layer of engagement.
