What is your parenting archetype?
The proprietary Civix™ model places your way of parenting on six dimensions and assigns you to one of twelve archetypes, grouped into four families. No overall score, no ranking, no method to follow.

Twelve ways of raising, four families
Each profile has its own way of running a household. None is a level, and yours is not always the one you think.
The Landmarks
A legible framework, held over time.
The Companions
The relationship first, the rest works itself out.
The Scouts
Trust early, and show it.
The Watchers
Being there before it gets hard.
Where do you stand next to them?
The Civix™ model places every profile on the same six dimensions, including those of characters everyone knows.

The LandmarksHe gathers his children with a whistle, has given each of them a rank and a uniform, and runs the household on a timetable that does not depend on the mood of the day.

The Simpsons
The CompanionsShe consoles before she sanctions, takes her children's side against the school, and puts the atmosphere of the house ahead of the rule she had just set.
Fictional characters, assigned to a family on the strength of their story, as a landmark. They remain the property of their rights holders and are cited on that basis alone. No real person is classified here: the way someone raises their children cannot be established from the outside.
How a profile is established
Each theme measures its own dimensions and describes its own profiles. The protocol that establishes them meets the same requirements throughout.
- 01
You answer
A series of statements, one answer each time, on a scale of agreement. About four minutes.
- 02
The model places your answers
Each answer feeds six independent dimensions. Your position on each is compared with that of other respondents.
- 03
You receive your profile
The profile you are closest to among twelve, the family it belongs to, and what sets you apart from it.

The Architect of the Everyday
Sample report
In your report
You organise a legible daily life, where each thing has its moment, and you readily explain what your rules rest on. That predictability spares your child permanent negotiation and spares you arbitrariness. It has a cost you know: the unforeseen costs you more than it costs others, and sometimes the organisation has to be defended for its own sake, once everyone has forgotten what it was for.

The review
Understand before deciding
Questioning a child, what the question does to the answer
The way a question is asked changes what a young child reports, and this holds for research surveys as much as for testimony. Research on suggestibility has specified under what conditions.

Grade repetition, a declining practice with effects that are hard to isolate
France long ranked among the countries where pupils most often repeated a year. The decline of the practice preceded the most rigorous studies of its effects.

Praising effort or intelligence, an experiment and its aftermath
A series of experiments from 1998 made the form of a compliment a research topic in its own right. Later work confirmed a mechanism and markedly reduced its size.
