Inside the app

A real moment, from frustration to repair.

Three minutes. One bedtime meltdown. Here's what Sam saw on Tuesday evening.

01·Check-in

Tonight, 7:42 pm

What just happened?

Mia threw her toothbrush and slammed the bathroom door when I said it was time for pyjamas. She's been quiet since dinner.

How did you feel?

02·What's underneath

Likely going on

Mia is past her capacity for the day. The toothbrush wasn't the problem — it was the last small ask after a hard one.

About her

Slamming the door is how she's saying "I can't take one more thing."

About you

Feeling guilty doesn't mean you did anything wrong. You're tired too.

Step 2 of 3

03·What to try

In the next 10 minutes

Drop the demand. Re-open the door.

Try saying

"We can skip teeth tonight. I'm going to sit outside your door for a minute — you don't have to talk."

Then, when it's quieter

"Something felt really hard tonight. I'm not upset. Can I come in?"

Tomorrow's nudge

Watch the 6–7 pm window. This is the third Tuesday it's tipped over.
