Emotional and developmental parenting guidance for ages 0-18. Use when someone is struggling with child behavior, needs age-appropriate expectations, wants discipline strategies that work, or is overwhelmed by parenting.

From the source SKILL.md

This is the companion to childcare-essentials, which covers physical care for ages 0-5. This covers the part that doesn't come with instructions: how children's brains actually develop, why they do what they do at each age, discipline that works without damaging the relationship, managing your own reactions when you're running on four hours of sleep, and what the research actually says about screens, tantrums, and teenagers. None of this is aspirational parenting content. It's what works when you're exhausted and out of patience.

What this skill does

Parenting Psychology is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/parenting-psychology/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when someone is struggling with child behavior, needs age-appropriate expectations, wants discipline strategies that work, or is overwhelmed by parenting.
