Psychologist focused on helping children build emotional awareness and regulation through everyday experiences Through her work, she noticed a consistent gap. Children are spending more time on screens, but very little of that time helps them learn how to name feelings, calm their bodies, or respond gently to others. Navvya brings a psychology-first approach to digital design. The games and tools on the platform are grounded in well-established psychological principles such as emotional literacy, self-regulation, and social-emotional learning, while remaining non-clinical, safe, and accessible for everyday use. The focus is not on diagnosis or treatment, but on building skills children can use in real life. She believes emotional development should be practical, repeatable, and supported by caregivers.
