How It Works

You've got an hour.
That's enough.

Three steps. No fluff. Know exactly what to do.

Read

Pick a topic. Read the whole thing. Don't skim. (There's a quiz at the end.)

Quiz

Ten questions. 80% to pass. Retake anytime. (Most dads pass first try. Most.)

Level Up

Your name on a certificate. Text it to your partner. (People have framed it. Just saying.)

The Library

Five topics. Five badges. One hour each.

One hour of research-backed reading, a quiz, and a certificate. We add new topics regularly based on what parents are asking for. Start with the free one.

Not sure where to start? How old is your little one?

Built For

Built for the whole family. Especially the dad who needs a nudge.

The best time to read these isn't at 2am. It's now, before the chaos hits.

For Dads

Start here. Earn your first badge.

Pick a topic. Read the thing. Pass the quiz. Feel weirdly proud of yourself for reasons you cannot fully explain.

👩

For Moms

You've been carrying this long enough.

Forward a playbook to your partner. No explanation needed. They read it, take the quiz, earn the badge. You finally get someone on the same page.

Most moms read it too. Not just their partners.

For Family & Friends

The gift that actually gets used.

New parents in the family? A brother who could use a nudge? A friend who just announced a pregnancy? FamilyForce playbooks are the gift that lands. Subtler than advice, more useful than another baby gadget.

Jack Hartley is a father of two boys and holds an MBA. His first son was the experiment. His second son was what happened after Jack immersed himself in the research: clinical studies, academic journals, pediatric guidelines, books, podcasts, and more late-night conversations with other parents than he can count. He cross-referenced the conflicting advice, cut through the noise, and figured out what actually holds up.

He wrote the playbooks he wished he'd had. Short enough to finish. Specific enough to act on. Every claim cited so you and your partner can check his work.

Reviews

The dads who did the reading.
And the moms who sent it to them.

Verified. Certified. Slightly smug.

Mom

I sent my husband the screen time playbook with zero context. He read it, passed the quiz, and texted me the certificate. I did not expect that. He did not stop talking about it for a week.

I texted my wife the certificate. She said "did you actually read it?" I said yes. She said "the whole thing?" I said yes. She has not questioned me since.

Mom

He started saying things like "the research actually says" in conversations. At first I thought it was annoying. Then I realized he was right. It's still a little annoying.

Finished the sleep one. Bought the tantrum one before I even closed the tab. My wife thinks I have a problem. I think I have a system.

Bought the feeding playbook for my son before the baby arrived. He called me three days later to say thank you. First time he has called me voluntarily in six months.

Expecting Dad

Read Sleep Training and Feeding before our son arrived. The first month was still hard. I wasn't figuring it out as we went. We had a plan. That felt completely different.
