You ran another day.

Here's a minute for you

Another full day as the primary parent. The meals, the nap that didn't happen, the long afternoon.

You know what that costs. So make a cup of tea, press play, and let this minute be for you.

Make yourself a cup of tea first

Then sit down and press play.

That's all.

One more if you’d like it

There is a quiet question a lot of Dads carry: Am I doing enough?

This one speaks to that. Leave your email and we will send it over.

Support, not advice

We do not tell you how to parent. We help you stay steady, so you can be the parent you already want to be..

If you felt something shift when you listened to these tools

There are more tools available for different situations

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 three minutes to help you come back to yourself.

Sometimes that is enough to change the next moment.
