Resources to determine the Tree Type of children
Hettie Brittz is well-known for her Tree type analogy to explain the different personality types – to parents and even children.
Evergreen Parenting believes that every member of a family’s temperament plays a key role in relationships. Parents that understand the different personality types can anticipate needs, emotions and challenges. They can pro-actively plan to make their home a space where everyone feels loved, respected, and safe enough to be themselves. This is the reason why temperament knowledge is one of our core principles.
Hettie developed a few resources over the years to guide parents in determining their children’s tree type. Find below a summary of all the products and services available on this website.
Tall Trees Profiles
Our sister company, Tall Trees Training, undertook additional research and developed tested profiles for children and teenagers. These online questionnaires help determine a person’s unique tree type combination. The Tall Trees Report supply sophisticated answers to the difficult questions relevant to relationships in a variety of contexts. That being said, we recommend using this as an additional tool only after completing one of Evergreen’s Parenting courses.
We encourage you to journey with a Tall Trees Coach—an expert personally trained by Hettie—who can help you interpret your report and offer deeper insights into other influencing factors. Instead of purchasing the codes alone, you can find a coach by filtering for Tall Trees in our directory. Click here: THE GREEN PAGES.
However, some parents have a do-it-yourself approach and prefer to work through their children’s reports on their own, and that is perfectly fine! You can order a Tall Trees Code below. This will allow you to complete the questionnaire and you will receive the report directly from the system (not via the accredited Tall Trees Coach.)
