Phase 1: Create the Invitation

You can’t force growth, but you can create the conditions for it.

Phase 2: Build the System

A system you build together is a system your child won’t resist.

Phase 4: Sustain & Grow Autonomy

Your job isn’t to be the engine, just the guide rail.

Phase 3: Step Back & Stay Consistent

Support works best when it’s steady, but light.
