15 minutes.One kid.Every day.

One kid gets all of you for 15 minutes.We call it our 15.

Help us get to 1,000,000 minutes.
The whole idea

We call it our 15.

Fifteen minutes where one kid doesn’t have to compete with your phone, your work, the dishes, or their siblings.

1% of your day. 100% of your attention.

  1. 01Pick one kid.
  2. 02Put the phone down.
  3. 03Let them lead.
  4. 04Give them 15.

Fifteen is the floor, not the ceiling. If it turns into forty-five, even better. Fifteen is just small enough to actually start.

Our shared goal
0
minutes together

One million minutes of a kid having somebody’s whole attention.

We’re starting at zero. Every 15 moves the number.

0 of 1,000,000
Every 15 adds up

One parent. One kid. 15 focused minutes.

Then another. And another.

That’s how we get to 1,000,000.

And after that

A million is our first milestone. The one we’re really after is a billion minutes of kids getting somebody’s whole attention. We start with the first fifteen.

The first year

What our 15 can build.

One session is fifteen minutes. Hundreds of them become the way your family works. Here’s the kind of thing parents tend to notice, in their kid’s words.

1 week

“We have this thing we do together.”

“What I want to do matters.”

1 month

“I don’t always have to compete for your attention.”

“My ideas are worth hearing.”

3 months

“You actually know what’s going on with me.”

“I have a voice.”

6 months

“I can bring things to you.”

“I matter even when I’m not achieving something.”

1 year

“You’re one of the people I can go to.”

“You understand me.”

You get the other half of it. A kid who brings you things sooner, and a version of yourself you like better at the end of the day.

Not a promise, and not a scientific claim. One-on-one, child-led time is a long-standing idea in family therapy and parenting programs. Our only contribution is making it small, named, and daily.

What a 15 looks like

Once a day, with one kid.

Pick one kid
Tell them it’s their 15. Start the timer.
Put the phone down
This is the part that does the work.
Let them lead
Lego, hair, questions about sharks. You follow. No teaching, no correcting, no rushing.
Give them 15
If it runs long, let it. Add a photo or short video afterwards if you want — always optional.

In the works

The app will keep the time so you don’t have to.

Start it, put it down, look at your kid. It counts your minutes into the shared total and remembers what you did. We’re building it now — members get it before we start.

We’ve already started.

I’m opening 15 Together to families a little at a time, so I can fix what’s broken while the group is small enough to talk to.

Leave your email and I’ll send you access as I open it up.

Help us get to 1,000,000 minutes.

We knew it was the answer. We still didn’t commit.

My wife and I did one-on-one time inconsistently for years. We knew it worked. We still didn’t do it most days. I’m not a parenting expert — I’m just a dad who finally committed and gave it a name.

Now my girls ask me if we can do our 15. That is why this exists.

We’ll email you the moment it opens.

Questions

What ages does this work for?
About two to seventeen. The only thing that changes is what they pick.
What if I miss a day?
Nothing breaks. There’s no streak to lose and nothing scolds you. Do your 15 tomorrow.
I have more than one kid.
One account covers all of them. One kid per session is the point, so most parents rotate.
Does my partner need their own account?
No. One account covers both parents.
What if I don’t know what to do?
They decide, so usually you find out fast.
How does the community total work?
Every completed session adds your focused minutes to the shared total. Only the minutes count toward the public number — what you and your kid did, and anything you saved from it, stays private to your account.
When can I start?
As soon as I open access to you. There’s no start date to wait for — families are being let in a few at a time, and I’ll email you when it’s your turn.

They won’t remember the busy day.

They’ll remember you sat down.

Who gets your 15 today?

I’ll email you when it’s your turn.
