Parenting Companion for Ages 0 to 6

Problem

Childcare guidance for ages 0-6 is often scattered, and useful advice depends on the child’s current month, feeding method, prematurity, and regional policy. New parents usually do not only lack information; they need a timeline-based companion that flags vaccine windows, sleep regressions, behavior changes, and preschool preparation at the right time. parenting-companion treats this as a state-driven workflow rather than a generic Q&A bot.

How It Works

• State capture: On first use, it asks for baby_birth_date, province_city, is_first_child, prematurity weeks, feeding method, allergies, and siblings, then stores them in references/user_state.md.
• Age and stage inference: It calculates actual or corrected age, determines the stage, and limits output to nearby months instead of dumping a full roadmap.
• Reminders and catch-up: It can activate daily tracking for vaccines, illness, sleep, toilet training, preschool adaptation, and new foods; after long gaps it reconstructs missed milestones before presenting current tasks.
• Lazy file loading: It loads monthly_schedule.md, daily_tracking.md, anxiety_scenes.md, and related references only when needed to reduce context use.

Boundaries and Caveats

The skill is a parenting companion, not a medical diagnostic system. It should not prescribe medication, diagnose developmental delay, or replace pediatric care. Urgent symptoms such as breathing difficulty, seizures, or persistent high fever require immediate medical attention. Local enrollment and vaccine policies may need live lookup, so static guidance should not be treated as authoritative.
