Imagine that your child wants to build a sandcastle and you know it will collapse. What will you do?

Select an answer:

I will give him a bucket and a spade and silently watch. I'll start advising him on where to begin, so that it stays in place. I will help him so that it looks good – he will be happy. I will stop him until he understands how to do it correctly. I wonder if it's a waste of time since it will just fall anyway.

Which of these images is closest to you?

A child in the rain, dancing without an umbrella. A thinker observing the world from behind the window. A parent holding a child's hand in a busy city. A flying kite without a string. A locked treasure chest.

Imagine your child tells you, "Leave me alone, I can do it myself." Your reaction?

Select an answer:

A smile – that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Doubt – can he really manage it? Silence – I don't know how to feel. Resistance – not ready yet. Pride - it has courage, I like that.

In which space would you let your child explore the world alone?

Select an answer:

In a library full of secrets. In a meadow with tall grass. In the city where no one knows him. In the children's room with an open window. In the digital world without supervision.

How would you react if your child made the same mistake three times in a row?

Select an answer:

I will think about what they probably need to understand from this. I'll explain it to him differently – maybe that way he'll understand. To intervene – enough with the attempts. I'll give him time - maybe he'll figure out why on his own. I will start to worry that something is wrong.

What bothered you the most about your parents when you were a child?

Select an answer:

Lack of trust. Excessive protection. Strict rules. Lack of interest in my feelings. That I was always being compared.

If you were a tree, what kind of relationship would you have with your fruits?

Select an answer:

Let them grow where they want – the wind will carry them. I want to see them falling close to me. Every fruit has its time – I don't pick it too early. Some I would prefer not to let ripen. I know about all of them – I follow the development of each one.

If your child failed publicly, what would you do first?

Select an answer:

He/She hugged him/her and let him/her experience it. He/She started looking for what went wrong. I would defend him/her from the world right away. I would allow him/her silence – without questions. I would feel shame and the need to make it right.
