ABSTRACT
The way a father and a mother interact and cooperate in their duty as parents is referred to as co-parenting. Parents with a positive co-parenting connection can be more productive and have a more enjoyable parenting experience. Co-parenting is divided into four categories (Feinberg et al. 2012): childrearing agreement, support/undermining, satisfaction with the division of labor, and family management. Each domain has its characteristics, and parents may have difficulties in their relationships, which contribute to the various co-parenting domain circumstances. This study aims to create a mobile application that would allow users to better coordinate in parenting. The study was conducted in two sequential phases; phase 1 was to design Duet using a user-centered approach and build and test the prototype. In phase 2, feedback was collected from a group of parents that used the app. The survey was conducted on 110 Indonesian parents to identify user preference with regard to interface design. To maximize the application's features, focus group discussions were conducted with 32 parents (16 mothers and 16 fathers), divided into four categories according to the child's age: toddlers, elementary, junior high, and high school. The application was found to have significant potential in providing Indonesian parents with information tailored to their unique requirements. Duet is a promising tool to help parents maintain balance in parenting and improve a child's entrepreneurial character development.
