The parking lot moment

You don’t have to be okay yet.

A difficult conversation, a decision, another wait. Make a little room before the next step.

Help me through this moment →

If you are in a car, stay safely parked until you feel ready to drive. Check what you need in the next few minutes: a drink, a comfortable place, or someone to sit with you.

You can say, “I need a little time. Can you keep me company? I’m not ready for advice.”

You do not have to explain everything or make every decision now. Write down a question to return to later if it helps.

When a feature needs information, we ask only for the minimum needed to make that feature work. Our approach is to collect and retain only what the feature needs—not to build a detailed profile of you or your child. Hosting and security services may retain technical logs, such as IP addresses.
