“I think it would a company would need to do all of the research, all the admin kind of ad hoc tasks for me, like searching for ideas and kind of scouring the Internet and provide me with, like, a list based on my son's age”

“It would have to be a platform that was, suggesting two or three activities, that were local. And with if I choose one of them, one click booking, so that I could just book her into them.”

“finding activities for my son to do, I would wouldn't mind taking off my plate because, it's time consuming, and sometimes you don't know what, depending on their age group, what kind of activities are suitable or what they should be doing at their age or should be able to do at their age”

“I feel overwhelmed trying to Google and finding activities that are activities appropriate for the age, and they're quite different ages. And then having to entertain them both, It's hard to get them to go and do one thing together because the other one has outgrown the other activity that the younger one might want.”

“Yes, it would be good if someone planned out a schedule for me with times, making reservations would help me too, and giving ideas.”

“An app that actually worked, which syncs with, my calendar, my partner's calendar, and basically a plan or a set plan of ideas for the holiday to keep children engaged.”

“Maybe organizing what things the kids can do in the school holidays because I pull my hair out trying to think what I can do to keep them entertained, that doesn't cost a huge amount of money.”

“It is often a source of stress and worry to know what to have them do, how to keep them occupied, especially during long vacation periods, trying to vary the activities, to find things that are engaging so that they do not turn too quickly to screens.”

“If there were a company to manage side activities, whether during school vacations or organizing family activities, that could be nice because we don’t always have the right ideas at the right time. And often, we set aside those moments that we could spend as a family because we don’t have the ideas.”

“I think for me sometimes it's hard to find ideas and think on the spot and quickly and also things that will keep him busy for a little while and things where I don't have to help him or he won't need my assistance so I can get on with something else”

“It is mainly coming up with the right ideas and varied ideas, because I sometimes feel that we end up going in circles with the same activities.”

“It's not always easy to find something to do to keep them occupied, especially something that all three of them will enjoy, so it could be helpful to have ideas.”

“It's coming up with the activities and keeping them engaged, especially after school when they're tired.”

“I guess that sometimes she'll mention feeling bored, and I guess thinking about maybe a list of ideas or things that might be appealing for her to do when she is home and I'm trying to work.”

“I have kids that are a little too old for like babysitters or structured childcare, but they still end up at home a lot, kind of bored or on their iPads, and I would love an outside help to organize and plan and motivate them to do something different.”

“Activities that suit her needs, as in what she likes, what is good for her, what suits her, the way her brain works. That can be quite hard to do as a parent if you're not with them all the”

“as for organizing activities, it would be more about suggestions, it would be more about suggestions made based on the activities available around where I live. That’s it, it would be more in terms of suggestions.”

“I would say that apart from housework, which is taken care of today, everything related to finding activities, organizing activities, possibly planning them, taking the children to activities, that is one area, because it is something that is always there, it is ever-present.”

“Mental effort of trying to make it work for two different ages.”

“if I know I have something important going on at work and I know my son is gonna be home all week doing nothing, I would love to have something set up at least a couple times during a couple days during the week to make sure he's not destroying the house or at least getting out of the house.”
