# Multi-Child Families - Comprehensive Implementation Plan

## Document Overview

This document provides a detailed, actionable implementation plan for enhancing ParentFlow's multi-child support across all application layers: frontend, backend, AI/voice processing, and infrastructure. The plan builds upon the basic multi-child implementation currently in place and the specifications in `multi-child-implementation.md`.

**Current Status:** Basic multi-child support exists with child selection in insights/analytics pages.

**Goal:** Comprehensive multi-child support with dynamic UI, voice commands, AI context awareness, and family-wide analytics.

### 1.3 Activity Logging Updates

**Files to Update:**
- `/maternal-web/app/track/feeding/page.tsx`
- `/maternal-web/app/track/sleep/page.tsx`
- `/maternal-web/app/track/diaper/page.tsx`
- `/maternal-web/app/track/activity/page.tsx`
- `/maternal-web/app/track/growth/page.tsx`

**Required Changes:**

1. **Child Selection Step (Pre-form)**
```typescript
// Add child selector at top of each tracking form
<Box sx={{ mb: 3, p: 2, bgcolor: 'background.paper', borderRadius: 2 }}>
  <Typography variant="subtitle2" gutterBottom>
    Who is this for?
  </Typography>
  <ChildSelector
    mode="multiple" // Allow bulk logging
    selectedChildIds={selectedChildren}
    onChange={setSelectedChildren}
    showAllOption={false}
  />

  {/* Quick select buttons for last active child */}
  <Button
    size="small"
    onClick={() => setSelectedChildren([lastActiveChildId])}
  >
    Same as last time ({lastActiveChildName})
  </Button>
</Box>
```

2. **Bulk Logging Support**
```typescript
// When multiple children selected, show batch confirmation
if (selectedChildren.length > 1) {
  return (
    <Alert severity="info" sx={{ mb: 2 }}>
      This will be logged for: {selectedChildren.map(id =>
        children.find(c => c.id === id)?.name
      ).join(', ')}
    </Alert>
  );
}

// Submit handler creates multiple activities
const handleSubmit = async (formData) => {
  const promises = selectedChildren.map(childId =>
    trackingApi.createActivity({
      ...formData,
      childId,
      timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    })
  );

  await Promise.all(promises);

  // Show success with child names
  toast.success(`Activity logged for ${selectedChildren.length} children`);
};
```

3. **Default Child Logic**
```typescript
// On mount, set default child selection:
useEffect(() => {
  // 1. Last child used for this activity type
  const lastUsed = localStorage.getItem(`lastChild_${activityType}`);
  if (lastUsed && children.some(c => c.id === lastUsed)) {
    setSelectedChildren([lastUsed]);
    return;
  }

  // 2. Globally selected child from header
  if (globalSelectedChild) {
    setSelectedChildren([globalSelectedChild]);
    return;
  }

  // 3. First child in family
  if (children.length > 0) {
    setSelectedChildren([children[0].id]);
  }
}, []);

// Save last used child on submit
const saveLastUsedChild = (childId: string) => {
  localStorage.setItem(`lastChild_${activityType}`, childId);
};
```

// - Milestones: Timeline comparison
```

**Chart Color Palette (consistent across app):**
```typescript
const childColors = [
  '#FF6B9D', // Pink
  '#4ECDC4', // Teal
  '#FFD93D', // Yellow
  '#95E1D3', // Mint
  '#C7CEEA', // Lavender
  '#FF8C42', // Orange
  '#A8E6CF', // Green
  '#B8B8FF', // Purple
];

// Add tab to analytics page
<Tabs value={tabValue} onChange={setTabValue}>
  <Tab label="Insights" />
  <Tab label="Predictions" />
  {children.length >= 2 && <Tab label="Compare" />}
</Tabs>

// Tab panel for comparison
{tabValue === 2 && children.length >= 2 && (
  <ComparisonView
    childIds={selectedChildIds}
    dateRange={dateRange}
    metrics={['sleep-patterns', 'feeding-frequency']}
  />

    return {
      mode: 'general',
      children: children.map(c => ({ id: c.id, name: c.name, age: calculateAge(c.birthDate) })),
    };
  }

  const child = children.find(c => c.id === selectedChildId);
  const recentActivities = activities.filter(a =>
    a.childId === selectedChildId &&
    isAfter(parseISO(a.timestamp), subDays(new Date(), 2))
  );

  return {
    mode: 'child-specific',
    child: {

      timestamp: a.timestamp,
      details: a.details,
    })),
  };
};
```

2. **Multi-Child Comparison Questions**
```typescript
// Support questions like:
// "Why is Emma sleeping less than Noah?"
// "Compare feeding patterns for all my children"
// "Is it normal that Sarah eats more than her brother?"

// AI responses should include child names:
// "Based on Emma's recent sleep data (averaging 11 hours),
//  compared to Noah's 13 hours..."
```

3. **Child Selector in AI Chat**
```typescript
// Add child selector above chat input
<Box sx={{ mb: 2 }}>

{{#each children}}
Child: {{name}} ({{age}})
{{metric}} data: {{data}}
{{/each}}

Provide a balanced comparison that:
1. Highlights patterns for each child
2. Explains any differences based on age, development, or recent events
3. Offers actionable insights
4. Reassures the parent that variations are normal

## Migration & Rollout Plan

### 9.1 Database Migration Sequence

**Order of execution:**
1. `V008_add_child_display_preferences.sql` - Add color/sort columns to children table
2. `V009_create_user_preferences.sql` - Create user preferences table
3. `V010_add_activity_constraints.sql` - Add bulk operation tracking

**Rollback plan:**
- Each migration includes corresponding `DOWN` migration
- Test rollbacks in staging environment
- Keep migrations small and atomic

**Pre-migration checklist:**
- [ ] Backup production database
- [ ] Test migrations on staging with production data snapshot
- [ ] Verify application works with new schema
- [ ] Monitor query performance after migration

---

### 9.2 Feature Flag Strategy

**File:** `/maternal-app-backend/src/common/feature-flags/feature-flags.service.ts`

```typescript
export enum FeatureFlag {
  MULTI_CHILD_COMPARISON = 'multi_child_comparison',
  BULK_ACTIVITY_LOGGING = 'bulk_activity_logging',
  VOICE_MULTI_CHILD = 'voice_multi_child',
  DYNAMIC_DASHBOARD_VIEWS = 'dynamic_dashboard_views',
}

@Injectable()
export class FeatureFlagsService {
  private flags = new Map<FeatureFlag, boolean>([
    [FeatureFlag.MULTI_CHILD_COMPARISON, false],
    [FeatureFlag.BULK_ACTIVITY_LOGGING, false],
    [FeatureFlag.VOICE_MULTI_CHILD, false],
    [FeatureFlag.DYNAMIC_DASHBOARD_VIEWS, false],
  ]);

  isEnabled(flag: FeatureFlag, userId?: string): boolean {
    // Check environment variable override
    const envKey = `FEATURE_${flag.toUpperCase()}`;
    if (process.env[envKey] === 'true') return true;
    if (process.env[envKey] === 'false') return false;

    // Check beta user list
    if (userId && this.isBetaUser(userId)) {
      return true;
    }

    return this.flags.get(flag) || false;
  }

  private isBetaUser(userId: string): boolean {
    const betaUsers = (process.env.BETA_USER_IDS || '').split(',');
    return betaUsers.includes(userId);
  }
}
```

**Frontend feature flag hook:**

```typescript
// /maternal-web/lib/hooks/useFeatureFlag.ts
export const useFeatureFlag = (flag: FeatureFlag): boolean => {
  const { user } = useAuth();
  const [isEnabled, setIsEnabled] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    // Check with backend
    apiClient.get(`/feature-flags/${flag}`)
      .then(res => setIsEnabled(res.data.enabled))
      .catch(() => setIsEnabled(false));
  }, [flag, user]);

  return isEnabled;
};

// Usage in components:
const showComparison = useFeatureFlag('multi_child_comparison');
```

---

### 9.3 Rollout Phases

#### Phase 1: Backend Infrastructure (Week 1) ✅ COMPLETED
- [x] Deploy database migrations (V017, V018, V019)
- [x] Implement bulk activity endpoints (POST /api/v1/activities/bulk)
- [x] Add comparison endpoints (GET /api/v1/analytics/compare)
- [x] Update existing endpoints for multi-child filtering (GET /api/v1/activities supports childIds)
- [x] Add family statistics endpoint (GET /api/v1/children/family/:familyId/statistics)
- [x] Add child display colors, sort order, and nickname fields
- [x] Create ComparisonService with 4 metric types (sleep, feeding, diaper, activities)

#### Phase 2: Frontend Foundation (Week 2) ✅ COMPLETED
- [x] Implement ChildSelector component with single/multiple/all modes
- [x] Update Redux store for multi-child state (selectedChildIds, viewMode, etc.)
- [x] Add dynamic dashboard views (tabs for ≤3 children, cards for 4+)
- [x] Update GraphQL dashboard query to include child display fields
- [x] Integrate DynamicChildDashboard in home page

#### Phase 3: Activity Logging (Week 3) ⏳ IN PROGRESS
- [x] Update tracking forms with ChildSelector (feeding form complete)
- [ ] Update remaining tracking forms (sleep, diaper, activity, growth, medicine)
- [ ] Implement bulk logging UI in tracking forms
- [ ] Add default child logic and quick select
- [ ] Test and enable for beta users

**Note**: Pattern established for tracking form updates:
1. Replace local child state with Redux state
2. Use ChildSelector component instead of custom selector
3. Sync selectedChildIds with Redux store
4. Update API calls to use selectedChild.id

#### Phase 4: Analytics & Comparison (Week 4) ✅ COMPLETED
- [x] Implement comparison view component with chart visualization
- [x] Add multi-child charts using Recharts (line charts with color-coded children)
- [x] Add compareChildren API method with ComparisonMetric enum
- [x] Support multiple metrics (sleep-patterns, feeding-frequency, diaper-changes, activities)
- [x] Add date range filtering with DatePicker
- [x] Show per-child summary cards with metrics

#### Phase 5: AI & Voice (Week 5)
- [ ] Deploy voice processing updates
- [ ] Implement AI context building
- [ ] Add clarification flows
- [ ] Enable for 75% of users

#### Phase 6: Full Rollout (Week 6)
- [ ] Enable all features for all users
- [ ] Monitor performance metrics
- [ ] Collect user feedback
- [ ] Address bugs and issues

## Performance Optimization

### 10.1 Database Query Optimization

**Indexes for multi-child queries:**
```sql
-- Composite index for activity filtering
CREATE INDEX idx_activities_child_type_timestamp
ON activities(child_id, type, timestamp DESC);

-- Partial index for recent activities
CREATE INDEX idx_activities_recent
ON activities(child_id, timestamp DESC)
WHERE timestamp > NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days';

-- Index for family-wide queries
CREATE INDEX idx_children_family_active
ON children(family_id, deleted_at)
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
```

**Materialized views for aggregations:**
```sql
-- Daily activity summary per child
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW daily_child_activity_summary AS
SELECT
  child_id,
  DATE(timestamp) as activity_date,
  type,
  COUNT(*) as count,
  jsonb_object_agg(detail_key, detail_value) as aggregated_details
FROM activities
WHERE deleted_at IS NULL
GROUP BY child_id, DATE(timestamp), type;

CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_daily_summary
ON daily_child_activity_summary(child_id, activity_date, type);

-- Refresh strategy: hourly or on-demand
-- SELECT refresh_materialized_view_concurrently('daily_child_activity_summary');
```

---

### 10.2 Frontend Performance

**Code splitting for multi-child features:**
```typescript
// Lazy load comparison view
const ComparisonView = lazy(() =>
  import('@/components/features/analytics/ComparisonView')
);

// Only load when 2+ children exist
{children.length >= 2 && (
  <Suspense fallback={<Skeleton variant="rectangular" height={400} />}>
    <ComparisonView childIds={selectedChildIds} />
  </Suspense>
)}
```

**Memoization for expensive calculations:**
```typescript
// Memoize child color calculation
const getChildColor = useMemo(() => {
  const colorMap = new Map<string, string>();
  children.forEach((child, index) => {
    colorMap.set(child.id, CHILD_COLORS[index % CHILD_COLORS.length]);
  });
  return (childId: string) => colorMap.get(childId) || '#FF6B9D';
}, [children]);

// Memoize filtered activities
const filteredActivities = useMemo(() => {
  if (selectedChildIds.length === 0) return activities;
  return activities.filter(a => selectedChildIds.includes(a.childId));
}, [activities, selectedChildIds]);
```

**Virtual scrolling for many children:**
```typescript
// Use react-window for card view with 5+ children
import { FixedSizeList } from 'react-window';

<FixedSizeList
  height={600}
  itemCount={children.length}
  itemSize={200}
  width="100%"
>
  {({ index, style }) => (
    <div style={style}>
      <ChildCard child={children[index]} />
    </div>
  )}
</FixedSizeList>
```

---

### 10.3 Caching Strategy

**Redis caching for analytics:**
```typescript
// Backend caching for comparison results
@Injectable()
export class AnalyticsCacheService {
  constructor(@InjectRedis() private readonly redis: Redis) {}

  async getCachedComparison(
    childIds: string[],
    metric: string,
    dateRange: string,
  ): Promise<ComparisonResult | null> {
    const key = this.buildCacheKey(childIds, metric, dateRange);
    const cached = await this.redis.get(key);
    return cached ? JSON.parse(cached) : null;
  }

  async setCachedComparison(
    childIds: string[],
    metric: string,
    dateRange: string,
    result: ComparisonResult,
  ): Promise<void> {
    const key = this.buildCacheKey(childIds, metric, dateRange);
    // Cache for 5 minutes
    await this.redis.setex(key, 300, JSON.stringify(result));
  }

  private buildCacheKey(
    childIds: string[],
    metric: string,
    dateRange: string,
  ): string {
    const sortedIds = [...childIds].sort().join(',');
    return `analytics:comparison:${sortedIds}:${metric}:${dateRange}`;
  }

  // Invalidate cache when new activity logged
  async invalidateChildCache(childId: string): Promise<void> {
    const pattern = `analytics:comparison:*${childId}*`;
    const keys = await this.redis.keys(pattern);
    if (keys.length > 0) {
      await this.redis.del(...keys);
    }
  }
}
```
