What it does
This prompt instructs the AI to act as an expert parenting coach and generate age-appropriate, tailored guidance for a specific child behavior challenge, using the provided age, context, desired outcome, and preferred parenting style. The output is a clearly organized plan that explains likely developmental reasons for the behavior, offers 3–5 practical strategies grounded in positive reinforcement and consistency, provides ready-to-use phrases for parent–child conversations, and suggests relevant follow-up resources, concluding with a brief summary and noting that approaches may need adjustment for the individual child.
Requires the betterprompt CLI to run. For installation and general CLI usage, refer to the

Models and options
This skill's modality is: text.
To discover which model values you can use (and which options keys/values are valid for each model), run:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Then filter the returned JSON array to entries where modality is "text".
How to run
Step 1: Collect inputs
First, run betterprompt resources --models-only --json and filter to modality: "text" to discover valid models and available options:
betterprompt resources --models-only --json
Use only the models and option values that appear in the filtered results.
Then collect all inputs from the human:
- Required text inputs:
BehaviorChild's AgeDesired OutcomeParenting StyleAdditional Information
- Optional: model and options.
- Present the human with the default model
gpt-4.1-miniand its available options. Look upgpt-4.1-miniin thebetterprompt resourcesoutput (filtered to modality"text") and show itsavailableOptionsas:key: val1, val2 (default), val3 | key2: .... Mark a value(default)if it matches these defaults:{}. - If the human does not specify, defaults are used: model
gpt-4.1-mini, options{}. Other models from the resources call are also available.
- Present the human with the default model
If any required text input is missing, ask the human for what's missing. Do not assume or fabricate values.
Step 2: Run via BetterPrompt CLI
Use the frontmatter's skillVersionId as the positional argument (for this skill version, use 0197c3c3-86c0-73d8-bef4-62636c775bb0).
Command form:
betterprompt generate 0197c3c3-86c0-73d8-bef4-62636c775bb0 \
[--input <key>=<value>] \
[--model <model>] \
[--options <options JSON>] \
[--json]
Notes:
- Pass each text input as a separate
--input <key>=<value>flag. - If the human does not mention a model, omit
--modeland BetterPrompt will use the default model:gpt-4.1-mini. - If the human does not mention options, omit
--optionsand BetterPrompt will use the default options:{}. - If the run times out, the response will include a
runIdyou can use to fetch the result later.
Example (using defaults shown above):
betterprompt generate 0197c3c3-86c0-73d8-bef4-62636c775bb0 \

--input Child's Age=<value> \
