Technological artifacts have been in use by most members of contemporary families. They are known for their potential to promote communication, reducing the perceived distance between people. In such scenario, time has been an issue for many families, including father figures. They have struggled to fulfil their roles in the emotional development of their children. This research aimed to develop guidelines for the design of technological artifacts that may assist in the management of the time spent by fathers with their children. The study adopted the concept of conflicting concerns (goals, attitudes and patterns learned by fathers in regard to their relationships with their children) to assess how design could support such relationships. Interviews were conducted with fathers after a sensitization period in which they were asked to report and reflect on their time management. They were analyzed through Content Analysis. With the support of a group of six designers, 20 design guidelines were developed with a focus on the father, in the time-space relationship, in social and affective relationships, and in the activities developed by fathers with their children.
