A convenience survey of 31 parents signaled emotion regulation challenges; it is not representative evidence.
Support at the moment of overwhelm, then a recovery path after conflict—not an information feed first.
Separate sourced guidance from assumed features, with privacy and safety made explicit.
A 43-screen prototype exists; no 1:1 interviews, usability tests, expert reviews, or production outcomes.
A small survey is a starting point, not a verdict.
In an initial convenience survey of 31 parents, 65% selected difficulty regulating their own emotions as a challenge. This small sample points to a question, not a population-wide finding: how might support remain useful when a parent feels overwhelmed or regrets losing their temper?
From overwhelm to reconnection.
Ten desk-research questions and 41 sources informed the JTBD framing and eight user flows. SOS is contextual support, not a substitute for professional care; recovery helps a parent reconnect after conflict without claiming a validated outcome.
- 01Recognize
Identify emotional state and situation.
- 02Pause
Find a short SOS response for the moment.
- 03Apply
Try guidance with its source and review status visible.
- 04Recover
Reconnect after losing composure.
- 05Review
Keep agency over data and unresolved assumptions.
SOS: support in the moment of dysregulation.
Situational search brings a parent to one actionable step instead of a long library of advice.
- Rationale
- The survey raised the question; desk research and JTBD shaped the design, but 31 responses cannot prove intervention effectiveness.
- Failure path
- No-result state and source-review labels matter. Emergency escalation pathways have not been verified.
- Validation lens
- Task success and comprehension in a future usability test; expert review for sensitive guidance.
Recovery: from regret to reconnection.
A three-step path supports reflection, reconnection, and closure after a parent loses their temper.
- Rationale
- Parents may arrive after the conflict, not before; the experience needs a useful post-event path.
- Failure path
- Non-judgmental language is important. Family Space and Check-in remain design assumptions, not evidence for this flow.
- Validation lens
- Step comprehension and flow completion in usability tests; no wellbeing outcome measured.
No impact claim yet. A clear validation agenda.
A prototype and documented design rationale are ready for future usability testing and expert review. No improvements in parental wellbeing, production usage, or safety outcomes have been measured.
