Studies in preparation

No results yet — these surveys are currently being designed and fielded. This page will host each study as it's published, and nothing appears here before the data is real.

  • The Morning Rush Report — what actually goes wrong between 7:00 and 8:15 in family homes, and what parents have tried.
  • Screen Time, Really — reported daily screen time by age, versus what parents wish it was.
  • Who Holds the Mental Load — how invisible household work is split, in the words of both partners.
  • The Family Meeting Census — how many families hold regular meetings, and what changes when they start.

Our research standards

Every study we publish will state its sample size, collection period, and recruitment channels; distinguish reported behavior from measured behavior; and ship with its anonymized raw data as a downloadable CSV. Small honest samples, clearly labeled, beat big invented numbers — see our Trust Center for the full policy.
