Choose Your Connection
Each week, kids send a short check-in video before they get to do something fun—like games, screen time, or anything else your family sets. That video is their “taxt”—a playful mix of text and tax.
The magic? They often say way more on video than they ever would face-to-face. Sweet stuff. Honest stuff. Things that spark real conversation later.
We keep it simple—no app, no logins. Just gentle weekly text reminders to help everyone stay connected, one message at a time.
No app. No logins. Just one intentional check-in at a time.
✦ Start small with just the kids.
✦ Add parent check-ins back to your kids.
✦ Or go all in with our full family plan—including partner-to-partner messages.
However you use it, Taxt Me Back keeps communication flowing, one thoughtful message at a time.
The Parent Tax
A Kid to Parent “Taxt” System
$7.99/month
It starts with one check-in.
This is the original idea behind Taxt Me Back. Each week, your child gets a simple text reminder to send a short video check-in before they jump into something fun—like screen time, games, or hanging out with friends.
The video is their “taxt”—a playful mix of text + tax—a small moment of connection before the rest of their day unfolds.
It’s amazing what kids say when they aren’t looking right at you. These videos spark honest moments, deeper insight, and conversations that often wouldn’t happen face to face. Even families who already talk a lot find that these check-ins hit differently.
Includes:
Weekly video reminder for your child
Optional midweek nudge if they forget
No logins. No apps. Just one video that opens the door to more
The Bundle
The Parent Taxt + Kid Taxt
$11.99/month
Connection goes both ways.
This plan includes your classic “taxt” prompt to get your kids talking—but also sends you a gentle nudge to send a short video back.
While kids’ messages are open-ended to let them share whatever’s on their mind, your reply comes with a thoughtful prompt—like “Share a time you were nervous but did it anyway,” or “What’s something you loved when you were your child’s age?” These guided questions help you model vulnerability and create richer conversations with your kids. The resulting videos also serve to create a lasting legacy—capturing your voice, values, and stories in a way your child can revisit for years to come. It’s more than a check-in—it’s a time capsule of love, growth, and connection.
Includes
Weekly video prompt for your kids to check in
A follow-up message with a scripted prompt for you to reply back
No apps. No logins. Just intentional connection through short videos. to showcase different key values of your products or services.
Full Circle
Parent Taxt + Kid Taxt + Spouse Taxt
$14.99/month

This plan includes everything from The Bundle—plus an optional third layer: partner-to-partner check-ins. These quick messages can be sweet, silly, encouraging, or deep. We’ll send a new conversation-sparking prompt each week, like “What’s something about our life right now that you're grateful for?” or “Tell your partner something they’ve done recently that meant a lot.”
It’s not therapy—it’s just intentional connection, one message at a time.
Includes:
Weekly video prompt for your kids
A follow-up scripted prompt for parents to reply back to their child
A separate prompt for partners/spouses to send each other a quick check-in video
