Sleep-shift planner
Plan a fair night-shift rota for two parents with a newborn and a toddler, so each gets one 5-hour stretch most nights.
Gentle movement plan
Suggest a 15-minute daily walk-and-stretch routine we can do with a pram and a dog. For pregnancy, check exercise with your family doctor or midwife.
Mental load audit
Help us list every recurring family task and who carries it, then suggest what to share, automate or drop.
Couple check-in prompts
Every Sunday evening, send us 3 short questions for a 10-minute check-in about the week ahead.
Friend catch-up nudges
Remind me every two weeks to message one friend I haven't spoken to recently, from a list I give you.
Evening wind-down
At 21:30, remind me to stop screens, and give a 2-line reflection prompt.
Hobby time finder
Find 2 hours this month for my hobby [hobby] without clashing with family plans.
Gratitude journal
Each night, ask me for one good moment from the day and save it. Send a monthly highlights note.
Support resources list
List local and national parent-support and perinatal mental health helplines in your country from official government sites, to keep on the fridge.
Reading list for busy parents
Suggest 5 well-reviewed books that fit parents of a toddler and a newborn: mix practical and reflective. Give a one-line summary and why it fits our stage. Prefer titles I can find at [library] or buy under your local currency [amount].
Work-family boundary
Before each workweek, flag evenings where work meetings clash with family time and suggest which to move.
Nap-window micro-breaks
When I say a nap just started, suggest one realistic 15–25 minute reset I can finish before they wake (stretch, shower, tidy one surface, or a quiet cup of tea). Keep the list short and kind; no guilt if I skip it.
