How to introduce Loopie to your child
September 22, 2026 · Ties to the parents FAQ
You do not need a big launch. Treat Loopie like teaching bike rides: short, supervised, and celebratory. This walkthrough matches the spirit of the FAQ on For parents.
1. Sit together on a device you control
Open loopie.club/me on a home laptop, shared tablet, or school-friendly browser. Explain: “This is for calling people we already know — not for finding new people online.”
2. Pick a Loopie name as a team
Fun is good; last names and addresses are not. If optional parent email + PIN feels useful so the name works on another device later, set that with your child watching so they understand it is a family key, not a secret from you.
3. Agree on the friend circle
Make a short list: two classmates, a cousin, a neighbor. Remind them both kids must add each other. That mutual step is the closed loop — more buddy list than social network.
4. Practice one call
Call a trusted adult first if that helps nerves, then a best friend. Keep it five minutes. Praise the hello, the listening, and the goodbye. Conversation skills grow with reps — see why talking still matters.
5. Share offline with a Loopie card
Print or write a Loopie card and hand it to a friend in person. Offline-first sharing keeps the habit grounded in real-life trust.
House rules that travel well
- Only add people we have talked about.
- Calls happen in a shared space when we say so.
- If something feels weird, tell a grown-up — no shame.
- Parents can reset the nickname on this device anytime.
That is enough for week one. Loopie stays free — never a paywall.
