Tags: ‘Family’

Family is at the core of GoKid’s mission. Our aim is to save parents time, but in the process to ensure that parents get to spend more quality time with their kids. By allowing families to help one-another out through sharing carpool drives, we can ensure that the time you spend driving your kids is more relaxed. When parents help each other out, they can focus more on the things that matter and can have a lower-stress life.

We blog regularly about family topics including: how to help your kids make friends; how to raise greener kids; how to lead a lower stress life; and how to use tech to improve your family organization.
