Why Wowday works

Backed by science. Designed for kids.

🧠

It lifts mood and eases anxiety

The Anxiety and Depression Association of America identifies gratitude as especially helpful for kids experiencing anxiety and depression. Simply writing or stating one thing they're thankful for can increase positive emotions like happiness and satisfaction — and over time, help reduce symptoms of both anxiety and depression.

It improves sleep

Research shows that thinking about things we're grateful for just before bed improves both sleep quality and duration — making Wowday the perfect evening ritual for kids who struggle to wind down.

💪

It builds resilience — even in first graders

A 28-week Clemson University study found that even six-year-olds can significantly boost their well-being through simple daily gratitude practices like journaling. A separate meta-analysis of 25 randomized controlled trials involving 6,745 participants confirmed that gratitude interventions produce significant improvements in life satisfaction, positive affect, and happiness.
