Are you ready to explore your partnership and bloom together?

Embark on a journey of discovery and connection with TEND, the card game designed to help you and your co-parent prepare for parenthood while strengthening your relationship. 

Each card represents a seed that, when planted and nurtured, can blossom into a deeper understanding of ourselves and our loved ones. 

Whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned pro, TEND will help you explore the joys, fears, and possibilities of parenthood together

With TEND, simply sit with your partner, choose a card, and take turns asking and answering questions. The game is designed to spark meaningful conversations, deepen your connection, and help you build a strong foundation for your parenting journey.

Sarah Balagey, the creator of TEND, is a lifelong advocate for child development and has dedicated her career to building meaningful connections between children, parents, caregivers, and educators. 

Throughout Sarah's career, intentional questions were at the root of all learning and growth. Asking the "right" questions to help us untangle the inevitable snarl, is key to extending understanding and making meaning of the world around us.

TEND is the result of Sarah's passion for helping families connect and grow, and her years of experience in early childhood education, parent coaching, and her journey to parenthood. Her game is designed to help parents nurture their relationships, have deeper conversations, and build a strong foundation for their family.

One of a kind

TEND is not just any card game. It was created by an experienced educator who understands the importance of inclusivity, thoughtfulness, and curiosity. The questions are designed to be inclusive of all types of families and partners and to promote empathy and understanding.

The questions we ask matter

as much as the answers we seek.
