See how a story lands.
Before it lands.
Understand, don't surveil.
A trauma-informed media screening platform. Where other ratings count scenes, Lighthouse reads the emotional infrastructure of what a child watches, reads, and hears — and predicts how a specific child will respond, based on their history and emotional profile.
"Most tools ask if a child should be allowed to see it. Lighthouse asks what it will do to them once they have."
Every rating system treats your child like every child.
Age ratings and content warnings were built for the average kid — not yours. And they only tell you what's in the media, not what it may be doing to the person watching it.
They're one-size-fits-all
A rating that fits an average 10-year-old may badly misfit a sensitive child, a trauma survivor, or a mature preteen. Nobody in your household is average.
They ignore the arc
A single episode isn't the problem. Six months of repeated themes may be. Existing tools evaluate each piece in isolation — never the pattern.
They stop at appropriate/not
Parents don't want a binary verdict. They want to know how their child is being shaped — and what to gently guide, discuss, or celebrate.
Not a content rating.
A child-specific picture.
Lighthouse builds a private, evolving picture of how different themes, characters, messages, and media experiences appear to be affecting your child emotionally over time. Not what's in the media — what it's doing.
- Emotional themes, not warnings. Confidence, empathy, anxiety cues, body image, family engagement — tracked as themes across everything your child sees.
- Child-specific patterns. Your kid's Genome is built from your kid's history — not category averages, not other children.
- Guidance, not blocking. Lighthouse never blocks or restricts. It surfaces patterns for you to guide, discuss, or celebrate as a parent.
- Fully private. No third-party sees your child's Genome. Deletable. Portable. Yours — not the product.
Not what’s in the media. What it’s doing to the person watching it.
Where other rating systems count instances of violence and profanity, MY EYES™ — the Media Impact & Emotional Exposure Summary — reads the emotional infrastructure across five dimensions calibrated to how children with trauma histories actually process what they see.
Attachment patterns
How the story models closeness, distance, abandonment, and repair. What does this content quietly teach a child to expect from the people they love?
Sadness saturation
Not just whether something is sad, but how heavily the content marinates in grief, hopelessness, or unresolved loss over its running time.
Identity reinforcement
Which parts of a child’s self-concept — body, race, gender, family shape, capability — are being quietly affirmed, invisibly erased, or negatively cast.
Escapism draw
The pull toward a fictional world at the expense of the real one. Healthy escape is a resource. Sustained escape is a symptom — and worth knowing.
Isolation risk
Whether the content nudges a child toward, or away from, being with the humans who love them — family talk time, phone-down moments, shared meals.
Hybrid review. Parent always final.
Lighthouse doesn't outsource your judgment to a rating board — or blindly trust AI. Content moves through a three-stage pipeline. You stay the decision-maker.
Continuous first-pass
Lighthouse's model analyzes new content across books, TV, YouTube, streaming, and podcasts — identifying themes, tone, and emotional signals with citations.
Trained human review
Trauma-informed reviewers validate or escalate sensitive findings — especially where the model's confidence is low.
Parent decides
You see the summary, citations, themes, and Genome context. You decide what to allow, discuss, or gently redirect. Lighthouse never restricts on your behalf.
Not another content rating.
The market rates content. Lighthouse understands children.
Because emotional safety is a household, not a filter.
Beyond the Emotional Genome™ and MY EYES™ framework, Lighthouse gives every kind of modern family — co-parenting, foster, and blended — three tools designed to work together.
Because the protected person also has a voice.
A safe, private channel for children to tell you how something actually made them feel — in their own words, in their own time.
Guided age-appropriate prompts, voice or text, always optional, always encrypted. What they share is theirs; what they send to you is a gift, not a report.
One shared agreement, across every household.
AI-mediated co-parenting alignment on media decisions — so a child doesn’t need a translator between two homes.
Guardians write their values in plain English. Lighthouse turns them into a shared, updatable covenant that respects every adult’s authority.
Meet trending content before it reaches your child.
A quiet radar for the songs, shows, TikToks, and books rising fastest in your child’s age band — and what MY EYES™ finds inside them.
Not a moral panic feed. Not a block list. Just enough foresight to have the conversation before the algorithm has it for you.
The trusted family media-intelligence layer.
Parenting through the digital world means understanding not only what your children watch — but how it may be shaping their emotions, beliefs, identity, and relationships over time.
Lighthouse is the trauma-informed early-warning and guidance system that bridges parental protection and a child’s lived experience — a shared language for families and clinicians.
The person you protect is not your opposite. They are a co-participant.
Your family's data —
only yours. Ever.
A children's product carries a higher standard. Lighthouse is built to that standard — including every operational choice we make.
- End-to-end encrypted. Your family's Genome lives locally when possible; encrypted at rest and in transit when it can't.
- Never trains AI. Your data trains your Genome. Nobody else's. No exceptions.
- One-tap deletion. Any encounter, any child, or the whole account. No forms, no dark patterns.
- Portable by design. Export in open formats. Your Genome leaves with you.
