1-minute survey
Most parents don’t feel very confident when they first become parents, and that’s okay.
Research shows that parent competence and confidence are among the most important indicators for your child’s future health.
The good news is that confidence isn’t fixed. It grows with the right support. That’s why we created a simple, science-based 1-minute Parent Confidence Survey to help you understand your starting point.
So where do you stand right now?

Our story
After going through several hospitalizations and challenges over 10 months with their late daughter, Aviva, and not finding any answers, Hans Kullberg and Cristina Bernardo turned their grief into a promise to their daughter: to ensure no other family has to feel alone or powerless in a moment of uncertainty.
Every parent deserves answers. And every parent needs to be their child’s best advocate. And every child deserves love. But parenting doesn’t come with a manual. Yet the answers are out there.
That’s why we started Avocado Health.
We founded Avocado Health to bridge the gap between trusted parental guidance and accessible support, providing every parent with instant, evidence-based, and compassionate answers right through their phone when they need it most.
But, we also founded Avocado Health as a promise to our daughter, Aviva.
Our mission is to build parental confidence and empower parents, ensuring that every family has the right information at the right time to make the best decisions for their child.
