It started with a fairy tale
Bonki was born from a fairy tale, told by an older sister to her younger sister when she was feeling unwell as a child. The tale became a way to understand, process and find comfort in difficult feelings. Today, Bonki builds on that story — with the goal of giving all families the same opportunity
The research is clear
- Children who are allowed to talk about feelings early develop stronger self-esteem.
- Openness reduces the risk of anxiety and mental illness later in life.
- Small daily conversations strengthen the relationship between child and parent.
