You know the right approach. You just can't find the words in the moment. Every parent has been there — your toddler is on the floor at the grocery store, or screaming at bedtime, or hitting their sibling — and your mind goes completely blank. You know punishment doesn't work. You believe in connection. But when the nervous system is flooded and logic is offline, knowing the theory isn't the same as knowing what to say. ParentScript gives you the exact words. Organized by situation and your child's age (1 through 6), ParentScript is a "Say This, Not That" script library built for parents who already understand gentle parenting but freeze in the moment. Every script is short, practical, and field-tested for real toddler behavior — not idealized parenting content. WHAT'S INSIDE: • Tantrum Toolkit — Always free. A 6-step real-time SOS guide for active meltdowns. Follow the steps while it's happening: acknowledge the big feeling, get to their level, regulate yourself first, offer connection, and move through it together. • Script Library — Browse by situation (hitting, not listening, public meltdown, bedtime refusal, sharing struggles, separation anxiety, and more) and filter by your child's age. Each card shows the exact phrase to use and the phrase to avoid — with a brief explanation of why. • Ask AI — Describe your exact situation in your own words. ParentScript's AI returns: why this behavior is developmentally normal at your child's age, three exact scripts tailored to the moment, the phrases that tend to backfire, and a simple preventive tip. It speaks your language — nervous system, big feelings, co-regulation, connect before correcting. • Favorites — Save the scripts that work for your child. Build a personal reference library of what actually resonates. • Daily Tips — A new parenting phrase or reframe every day, drawn from the script library. WHO IT'S FOR: Parents of toddlers ages 1–6 who are already on the gentle parenting path but want practical, in-the-moment support. If you've ever closed a parenting account and thought "I know all this — I just can't DO it when it's actually happening" — this app is for you. WHAT IT IS NOT: ParentScript is not a clinical tool, a therapy replacement, or a parenting curriculum. It is a practical reference for everyday hard moments. No streaks. No failure states. No judgment.

Bump to You is a calm, private space for your postpartum recovery — built around you, not the baby. Built by Brian Crawford, solo founder. I built Bump to You because postpartum recovery deserves the same attention as the baby. The transition into motherhood asks so much of you. Bump to You helps you check in with your body and emotions, follow your recovery, and find support without judgment. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF A gentle daily check-in helps you notice patterns in mood, anxiety, sleep, physical recovery, and support. Build streaks and earn Bloom badges simply for showing up for yourself. TALK TO A SUPPORTIVE AI COMPANION Put words to what you are carrying, even at 3 a.m. The AI companion responds with warmth and context while staying clear that it is not a therapist, diagnosis, or substitute for professional care. FOLLOW YOUR RECOVERY Read honest, stage-aware guidance for pregnancy and postpartum recovery, from the final weeks before birth through the first year and beyond. Your current guide period is available free; Premium opens the complete library. UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE FEELING Use plain-language symptom guidance to understand whether something may be common, worth a call to your doctor, or urgent. Bump to You does not diagnose medical conditions. CONNECT YOUR HEALTH DATA — OPTIONAL Apple Health can help you see private recovery insights from sleep, heart rate, and activity. Raw Apple Health samples stay on your device. Only derived summaries and recovery insights may be saved to your account. You can also write selected hydration, breathing, and pelvic-floor sessions back to Apple Health. YOU ARE NOT ALONE Community Circles shows the growing Bump to You community around the world. Every account contributes to the worldwide total. Adding an anonymous approximate region to the map is optional; exact location never leaves your device. MORE SUPPORT FOR YOU • Private journaling and searchable reflections • Pelvic-floor and return-to-fitness guidance • Hydration, pumping, and nutrition tools • Kick counting, contraction timing, and birth preparation • Optional partner sharing that you control • Therapist finder and emergency resources that are always free BUMP TO YOU PREMIUM Premium is optional: $4.99/month, $24.99/year, or $49.99 once for lifetime access (U.S. prices).

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
