“Mum, can I do another class 🎮?” The Day My Kid Begged for More Learning

If you’d told me a year ago that my child would willingly choose an online class over their favorite YouTuber, I would’ve laughed.

Yet here I am, sipping my coffee, watching my 10-year-old high-five the screen after earning some XPs in a online tool called Morphoses. “Did you see that? I just leveled up because I reviewed my class!” he shout with the kind of enthusiasm usually reserved for Roblox.

It all started because I wanted to find an after-school activity that didn’t involve fighting about screen time. I was looking for something useful — something that could teach my child how to communicate, work with others, and handle challenges without getting overwhelmed. These were the kinds of skills that school just didn’t focus on. Sports? Sure, but they didn’t really teach how to understand or manage emotions. Piano? Let’s not even talk about that. Then a friend told me about Morphoses. “It’s where kids learn life skills” she said. “But in a way that feels like playing.”

At first, I was skeptical. Soft skills? Online? I pictured an awkward Zoom call with a bored tutor and 20 muted rectangles. But the reality? Way different! Day one, my child joined a small group of learners from around the world. Within minutes, they were solving mysteries, debating with peers, and teaming up in a digital escape room set in Ancient Egypt. At the end of the class, they ran to me — not to complain, but to explain the team strategy they used to unlock the pyramid.

“I think I was the leader this time. Alex followed my idea and we cracked the code!”

Say what now? Turns out, Morphoses has figured out something most schools — and let’s be honest, most adults — haven’t: if you want kids to learn, make it feel like play. And not mindless play — but the kind that builds confidence, decision-making, and collaboration. They’ve gamified the entire experience, down to the tiniest details.

• Review a class? +200 XPs.
• Complete four sessions in a row? +300 XPs.
• Convince your parent to enroll you in another curriculum? +1000 XPs.

Yes, my child earns XPs (points) when I get involved and give feedback on parts of the platform and the overall experience. (And yes, it’s also a great way for me to connect with my child.)

But it’s not just the Experience Points (XPs). It’s the care. The structure. The engagement. The fact that these classes are live, with trained tutors who actually get kids. It’s the way they ask open-ended questions like “Is Batman a hero?” and use that to explore morality, leadership, and emotional intelligence.

One day, my child created a haiku to reflect on how they solved a conflict at school. Another day, they led their team through a pixel art puzzle where collaboration was the only way forward. This isn’t just education. This is preparation for real life, disguised as a quest.

And let’s talk tech for a second — because Morphoses isn’t your average clunky learning platform. It’s smooth, interactive, and clever. Everything is designed to make it easy — from signing up for classes and tracking progress to encouraging family involvement. I receive updates, I see real growth, and for once, I feel like I’m a co-pilot in my child’s journey, not a helicopter parent.

Honestly, I wish this existed when I was growing up. Maybe I wouldn’t have learned teamwork by losing Monopoly to my cousin for the 14th time.

So now, when people ask, “What’s Morphoses?”, I just smile and say: “It’s the only platform where my kid learns empathy, debate, and how to lead a team — while having so much fun they forget it’s ‘education.’ And the only thing I have to fight about now is giving them a break from learning.”

Education doesn’t have to be a chore.

Sometimes, it just needs a little XP, a digital high-five, and a tutor who knows how to turn challenges into superpowers.
