Short audio support for the hard moments with little people

Parenting young children is loud, relentless, boring, tender, overstimulating, lonely, funny, and completely exhausting - sometimes all before breakfast. It is also beautiful!

A Little Space for Parents offers short audio tools, one to three minutes long, to help parents steady themselves in ordinary difficult moments.

Not parenting advice - Not another thing to get right - Just a little support, when you could use some.

First, please make yourself a cup of tea.  Can you do that now?

Just listen. Nothing more.

Sit and wrap your hands around a warm cup of tea. Let the steam rise up into your face.

Why this exists?

  • Who created A Little Space for Parents? Jon Cheetham and Amy Kohut.

  • Jon is a full-time parent of two young boys, and a former Cornell neuroscientist and surgeon. Amy is an executive coach with more than 25 years of experience working with leaders under pressure.

  • Together, we have taken tools usually used in coaching and high-pressure professional settings, and adapted them for the very real pressure of parenting small children.

  • Parents do not need more information. They need one minute of support.

Each tool gives you a small physical action, a few steady words, and a way to come back to yourself.

Made for Devon parents

You probably found this through a flyer somewhere in Devon — a nursery noticeboard, a café, a children's centre, a baby group, or another local parent who thought: "This might help someone today."

That is exactly how we hope it spreads.

Quietly - Usefully - Parent to parent.

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 not

  • This is not a parenting method.

  • It will not tell you how to sleep-train, entertain, set boundaries or encourage your child.

  • It is not here to make you a better parent by giving you more to do.

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.
