I built this because I needed it.

Hi, I'm a parent. Not a child psychologist, not a sleep consultant, not someone with a podcast. Just a parent who has stood in a kitchen at midnight holding a screaming child and thinking, "I have no idea what to do right now."

My routine became: open ChatGPT, type out the full scenario — "my 18-month-old won't stop crying after I took away the remote, she's been going for 20 minutes, she won't be distracted" — wait for the response, scan through paragraphs of text, try to figure out what actually applies to a child her age, and then attempt something while she's still screaming.

Sometimes the advice was brilliant. Sometimes it told me to try a feelings chart with a one-year-old.

I wanted something faster. Something that already knows my child's age. Something that skips straight to "try this right now."

That's Fellow Parent.

What happens behind the scenes

1

You pick their age

This is the most important input. A strategy that works wonders on a four-year-old can be completely useless — or even harmful — for a one-year-old. Age changes everything.

2

We filter by development

Every piece of advice is matched to what children at that age can actually understand, process, and respond to. No timers for babies. No rocking for five-year-olds. No "use your words" for children who don't have words yet.

3

You get three things to try

Not a research paper. Not a parenting philosophy. Three concrete actions you can take right now, while your child is mid-meltdown. Plus what to avoid and why it's happening — for when things calm down.

What this is and isn't

What this is

  • A fast, practical tool for real parenting moments
  • Advice filtered by your child's actual developmental stage
  • Built by a parent who uses it on their own kids
  • Free and always will be

What this isn't

  • A replacement for your paediatrician or therapist
  • A diagnosis tool
  • Medical advice
  • A substitute for your own instincts — if something feels wrong, trust your gut and call a professional
