Positive Childhood Experiences

Nourished Simulator

Toggle each PCE to map your child's village health in real time. Activate Transition Mode when navigating a major life transition. When finished, move onto the other sections.

Transition Mode
Currently moving or recently relocated — community PCEs may be unavailable. Family PCEs weighted as primary support structure.

The Village Framework

Village Blueprint

Your child's village mapped live from the Simulator. Each role shows health, gaps, and the exact pivot level needed to restore connection.

Transition Bridge Stable Season
Before the Move
Bolster family PCEs. Build arrival bridges. Protect traditions.

Your Blueprint is waiting

Head to the Simulator first and toggle your child's Positive Childhood Experiences. Your Village Blueprint will populate in real time as you go.

Personal Reflection Tool

Story Map

Map the presence or absence of each PCE across your own childhood — then compare it with your child's. Understanding your story first sharpens your ability to see theirs.

This section works best on a desktop or laptop. The timeline grid requires a wider screen for comfortable use.
Abundant Lacking Transition
How to use: Click any cell to cycle through states — Abundant (green), Lacking (peach), Transition Season (yellow), then clear. Add named transition events using the + buttons below each timeline.

What patterns do you notice across your timeline?
Which PCEs were most abundant in your story? How did they shape who you became?
Which PCEs were most lacking? How did those gaps affect you?
Which PCE was hardest to read about? What made it hard?
Before you close this page, which one PCE do you most want to ensure your child experiences abundantly?

Response Script Library

Safe Responses

Verbatim scripts drawn from Nourished, filtered to your child’s current gap pattern. Scripts for absent PCEs appear first.

This tool is inspired by Nourished. The Safe Space Responses framework (including “Acknowledge, Affirm, Comfort, Be Curious”) was originally developed by Lauren Wells and TCK Training. To learn more about TCK Training’s research and caregiver education for Third Culture Kids, visit TCK Training.
