Tiny tots have thoughts too!
summary
Clever tests with 6–9 year olds using kid-sized labs (coffee tables, pillows, clear parent sightlines) and remote sessions, finds sessions are roughly 60% research insights plus babysitting, and uses pared-down prototypes to surface imagination (kids map treasure to a math category) which directly shapes the MVP. Tools include emoji scales, drawings, and take-home kid journals with stickers and colored pencils that return longitudinal behavior and parent–child context; journals and prototypes both work and produce actionable product changes.
