You can build your own childhood story map by plotting which crucial support structures were in place and where they were missing. You can also build your child’s map alongside it. Suddenly, the harder seasons take a visual form, making sense in a new way. So do the wonderful seasons.
The simulator also includes a library of safe space responses based on the framework by TCK Training. These are phrases that turn hard conversations, even conflict, into connection points rather than walls. They build secure attachment right when things would normally go sideways. Then when a new move or season comes, you can download your story map, reset it, and start again.
Families of faith will also find an interactive Biblical study guide.
This simulator was built by Jason Weimer as a companion to the book, but you don’t have to read the book first. Just start building your map and see what patterns begin to emerge.
