Welcome to You Can Do It, Says Larry!™ — a confidence-building world for children aged 3–11. Larry the Lion and his friends help your child discover that bravery, kindness and self-belief are muscles that grow every time they're used.

Head to Activities and pick a confidence challenge to do together — that's day one done!

You don't need a paid membership to start. The free Larry Club account includes daily activities, stories and the child dashboard.

One parent account can hold multiple child profiles. Each child gets their own private dashboard, badge collection, coin vault and progress journey — siblings never see each other's data unless you choose to.

Parent Portal — your overview of family progress, milestones, certificates and recommended activities.
Child Dashboard — a colourful, kid-friendly view of badges, coins and adventures for each child.
Teacher & School Portals — available if your child's school is part of the Larry family.

Only you (and admins) can see your children's records. Other parents and members of the community never see your child's name, age or progress.

Once you're logged in, the Portal is your family's home base. Use the sidebar to switch between the Parent, Child, Teacher and School areas (the ones you have access to light up automatically).

Parent Portal: family overview, achievement certificates, parent milestones, recommended activities and membership options.
Child Dashboard: badges, coins, progress journey, daily time tracker and quick links to adventures and games.
Reward Shop: where your child spends their hard-earned Larry Coins.

Look for the 'Back' button (bottom-left on public pages) or 'Back to Website' in the portal sidebar to return to the main site at any time.

Every time your child completes an activity, tries something brave, or shows kindness, they can earn a badge. Badges appear on their Child Dashboard and build a visible record of their growing confidence.

Activity badges — earned by finishing activities from the Adventures library.
Community badges — awarded automatically when parents take part in the community (sharing, celebrating, helping).
Passport stamps — special souvenirs from locations, events and hidden discoveries in Larry World.
Certificates — milestone achievements you can print or download to keep forever.

The goal isn't collecting — it's noticing. Celebrate each badge with your child and ask 'What felt brave about that?'

Larry Coins are digital coins your child collects by doing activities, reading stories, playing games and completing learning paths. They're stored safely in the Coin Vault on the Child Dashboard.

1
Earn coins
Activities, stories, games and weekly adventures each show how many Larry Coins they're worth before your child starts.
2
Watch them add up
The Coin Vault on the dashboard updates in real time — with a little celebration when new coins arrive.
3
Spend at the Reward Shop
Your child redeems coins for digital rewards, downloads and fun surprises — all parent-safe.

Coins can't be bought with real money and have no cash value — they're purely a way to celebrate effort and consistency.

Alongside coins, your child builds Confidence Stars and a Confidence Score. These are soft measures — not tests or grades — designed to help you notice patterns and celebrate progress, never to compare children.

Confidence Stars — awarded per activity based on how much courage it takes.
Confidence Score — a gentle running total shown on the dashboard, growing as your child explores.
Progress Journey — a visual timeline of badges, stamps and milestones earned.

The Reward Shop lets your child spend Larry Coins on parent-approved rewards — digital downloads, special content, and fun surprises. Every reward shows its coin cost and whether it's in stock.

Redemptions are recorded so you can see what your child chose.
Stock is managed automatically — once a limited reward is gone, it's gone.
Coins are deducted securely at the moment of redemption.

You can reach the Reward Shop from the Child Dashboard or the navigation menu under 'More'.

Activities — hundreds of confidence, kindness, nature, cooking and creative adventures, filterable by age, indoor/outdoor and skill.
Stories — bedtime stories, adventures and read-alongs that bring Larry's values to life.
Games — playful mini-games in the Play Area and Games Hub.
Weekly Adventures — bigger themed challenges for the whole family.

Each activity shows the confidence skill it builds, the time it takes, and what you'll need — so you can pick the right one in seconds.

Larry's Academy offers guided learning paths — each one a friendly sequence of activities focused on a single confidence skill like courage, kindness or resilience. Progress is saved automatically, so your child can pick up right where they left off.

Learning paths are perfect for building a habit — short, regular sessions work better than long, rare ones.

The Community is where parents share ideas, celebrate milestones, ask questions and support each other. It's moderated by Larry's team to keep it kind and safe.

Share a post in categories like Celebrate, Share Ideas, Ask Questions or Journey.
Like and reply to support other parents.
Report anything that doesn't feel right — it goes straight to our moderation team.

Children do not have access to the community — it's a parent-only space.

All community posts and replies are moderated and can be reported.
Child profiles are private to your family — never visible to other members.
No real-money purchases inside the child experience — coins are earned, not bought.
Report buttons are available on every community post and reply.

We only store what helps your child's journey — their name, age (if you choose), avatar, badges, coins and progress. We never sell your data, and your child's records stay tied to your parent account.

You can ask us to remove your family's data at any time by contacting us through the Contact page.

If something isn't working, or you just have a question, the fastest way to reach us is the Contact page. For private book enquiries, use the Private Book page.

You've got this — and so does your child

The most powerful thing you can do is notice the brave moments. Larry will handle the rest.
