Make lists, organize using colorful tags and opt to receive reminders, among other possibilities. rememberthemilk.com
5. Calm Kids
A specific subsection of the mindfulness and meditation app Calm, Calm Kids helps soothe and de-stress kids after a crazy day at school—or any other stressful situation, for that matter. Choose from short meditations or create longer calming routines for your kids within the app. calm.com
