Letters from Grownups™
Letters from Grownups is a partially-typed, partially written-by-you letter-writing experience that helps adults create lasting emotional connections with children through a structured and easy to accomplish system.
LFG removes friction, provides guidance, and builds confidence so meaningful connections actually happen, one snail mail letter at a time.
Don't get it? Hang on.
Created for Adults. Designed for Children™ LFG is focused on the adult that wants to stay connected with a child in their life in an age-appropriate way. Read the founder's story here.
In a time when everything is telling you to immediately respond, LFG opens the door to a more authentic and lasting discourse, one letter at a time.
By picking up a pen, spending 5 to 15 minutes filling in short and long blanks in thoughtfully-crafted, age-appropriate letters - you can go from the adult that "means to" to the adult that "does" stay connected.
Not sure what to say? We thought of that and created an app where Ryder, our friendly pigeon, and helpful writer, gives you human-created questions to get your creativity and memory out of a holding pattern and onto the page.
Still don't know what it is but you're curious? Read our FAQs. We spent a really long time on them... like a really long time.

“I sent LFG to my sister to try last February when it was still in beta testing mode to get to know my son. Her latest letter has been to the grocery store, two doctor's appointments, and a sleepover. My son won’t leave the house without it and loves showing it off.
He’s six. He can read about half of it. He has it memorized anyway. It’s getting soft at the folds now, and I’ve been told it is not allowed in the wash under any circumstances. I'm so happy he's getting to know his Aunt who loves him so much but lives so far away.”

“My dad is a nice man who asks my son exactly two questions: how’s school, and are you being good. My son answers 'good’ to both, and then he promptly hands the phone back to me.
Like any good millennial dad, I tried every technology I could to get the two of them to connect. I was starting to think that I'd just have to wait until my son was older to foster that relationship. My dad only lives in the town next to ours, but it might as well be across the world for how often he makes it to anything in my son's life. My coworker was trying LFG with his nephew and suggested I join the beta round.
I can't express how different both my dad and son are now when I get them together. They're happy. They have things to talk about.
If you want something to build a bond, check out LFG. Now that they have the Ryder app, it's even easier for me to know when my dad's putting his letter in the mail, so I can make a big deal out of taking my son to the mailbox to see if there's anything in there for him."

“I’m the 'fun' adult who made friends with [REDACTED]'s mom in college. Every time a birthday comes along, I'm there, creditcard ready to swipe. When my friend said she appreciated the gifts but hoped that [REDACTED] would get to know me better, I was at a loss.
My husband and I are DINKs (dual income no kids) and I don't know how to connect with children except to buy them things or ask them a bunch of questions. I think it was getting boring for both [REDACTED], and for us.
My mom's co-worker was trying LFG with her grandbabies and said that they were lighting up whenever the mail came in, even when it wasn't for them. I can tell you [REDACTED] lights up for about 5 seconds after she opens her presents and then it's onto something else. So, I decided to try LFG to see if it could work.
It's not a miracle worker, but I do have to admit, [REDACTED] actually seems to know who I am aside from the gift fairy, and that feels nicer than I anticipated. I'm happy to trade my fairy wings for Ryder's paper airplane any day. And the bonus from this is the my friend and I are actually talking more now, too. We have something in common again."
