A Note from the Studio
When I founded The Parenting Tree™, I wanted to move away from the "noise" of modern parenting. I realised that as facilitators, we often intervene too much because our environments aren't working hard enough for us.
In the Studio, we treat the learning space as a Living Laboratory.
My role is to help you distinguish between the Blueprint and the Action. If your child is struggling, we first look at the Blueprint: Is there too much noise on the stage? If the environment is silent, we then look at the Framework: Are we protecting the "Explore" phase, or are we interrupting the experience?
I invite you to step into the Studio, not just to learn how "teach" your child, but to learn how to design the conditions where learning unfolds effortlessly.

5 minutes to an Environment that Works for You
Filter 1: Visual Checks
The Result: The child’s eyes lock onto the task immediately. You spend zero energy “showing” them what to do because the object is obvious.
Filter 2: The Setup Action
The Result: The setup creates a natural flow of work. The child knows where to start and has enough material to keep going without your assistance.
Filter 3: The Work Space
The Result: The physical borders hold the child’s focus. You won't have to constantly remind them to "stay at the table" because the space does it for you.
Filter 4: Your Position
The Result: By changing your physical position, you lower their stress. You stop being the "manager" of the activity and become the observer (giving you a moment of quiet while they work).
