Background Numerous parents are busy with their work, they have limited time to interact with their children after their working hours, and thus there is limited engagement and interaction between parents and their children. Children are constantly in a stage of development, where their physical and mental health is in a growing and maturing process and they require the support of their parents in order to stay on the right track. This paper focuses on the development of numerous designs that enhance the intimacy between parents and their children by providing a feasible solution. Method We have utilized the user study which was based on direct parent interviews and children interviews. In addition, we held several online discussions to understand our targets more effectively and comprehensively. Our app, Twogether, has two main components: (1) educational videos and (2) interactive games. First, through the videos provided, children can learn about basic ethics, mathematics, English, and Korean. The video does not simply provide and convey information for the children to learn, but also provides some interactive questions for them to think about and ask to share their ideas with their parents. Result Our study found a way to help the majority of Korean parents who do not have much time for interaction with their children. After we tested our product with the two families, we obtained the results. It turns out that ‘Twogather’ requires both parents and children to participate, which encourages all participants to have a good quality of bonding time. Also, delivering academic information via gamification functions helps children to concentrate on education. Conclusion The research further highlighted that because of the lack of intimacy between parents and their children, especially during the younger years of the child, the child could suffer from behavioral disorders. In conclusion, the educational app ‘Twogether’, helped parents to better interact with their children and helped children to strengthen their academic skills.
