A small space for dads
3 minutes. Just for you
You care about showing up well
You think about it more than most Dads do
And you know there's a gap - between the kind of presence you want to bring and what's actually available when you're running low.
This isn't advice about closing that gap. It's a short audio tool to help you come back to yourself, so there's a little more of you to bring.
No sign-up. No commitment. Just press play below.
Tea Steam
3 minutes
Make yourself a cup of tea first
Then sit down, put your hands around the warm cup, and press play.
That's all.
There's a second free tool:
It's called Chat with a 90 Year Old
5 minutes
You imagine yourself at ninety, looking back at the dad you are right now.
Your older self has seen how it all unfolded.
They know what mattered.
It's the one dads come back to.

A Little Space for Parents makes short audio tools for parents of young children.
The tools are for the parent — not advice about the child, not a programme, not a framework. Just short, practical things you can use in real life, in real time, to steady yourself and come back to yourself.
Used by parents across the UK and US.
Annual membership is £25 — all the tools, plus seven new ones each month. No auto-renewal.
If you felt something shift when you listened to these tools
There are more tools available for different situations
A year's access is £25 for Founding Members
Founding members receive seven new tools each month by WhatsApp, plus full access to the growing library — tools for when you are depleted, stretched, angry, tender, steady, or doing well.
No advice. No judgement. No adverts. No selling your data.
Share this with another parent
If this helped you it might help someone else
You do not need to explain it perfectly.
You can just say:
"This is a short audio thing for parents. It's not advice. It just helps when parenting feels like a lot.”
What this is
A Little Space for Parents was created by Jon Cheetham and Amy Kohut.
Jon is a full-time parent of two young boys, a former Cornell neuroscientist, and someone who left a senior academic career to be at home with his children. He built this from the inside of the experience.
Amy is an executive coach with more than 25 years of experience working with leaders under pressure — at Amazon, Cornell, and elsewhere.
Together, we took the tools that help people lead well under pressure, and made them usable in the middle of real life with small children.
Support, not advice.
What this is not
This is not a parenting method.
It will not tell you how to manage your children, your schedule, or your guilt.
It is not here to add to your load.
It is here for the person carrying it.
It is here to support the person doing the parenting.
A small promise
We are not promising transformation.
We are not promising calm children.
We are not promising that you will never lose your patience again.
We are offering something smaller and, we think, more honest:
one to five minutes to help you come back to yourself.
