The family quiz

Which Button Runs THE FAMILY?

7:40am. Shoes not on. Third time asking. You hear a voice come out of your mouth that you did not choose. There is a button running that split second. This quiz names it.

5 minutes. 16 questions. Free.

Your own moment? Which Button Runs YOU? →  ·  Leading a team? Which Button Runs THE ROOM? →

There are 10 buttons: 6 press on you. 4 you press. The quiz names which of the 6 buttons that press on you is most often running your 7am and 6pm, in the split second before you react.

The adult in the house takes it, about the house. It never asks a child a question, never scores a child and never names one. Parents, step-parents, co-parents, grandparents and carers, with under-5s, primary age, teenagers or a mix.

There is no pass mark and no ranking. It names a habitual pattern in motion, so you can notice it earlier, and so that two people in one house can name the same moment the same way.

What the quiz will and will not do

It will name the button

The one that runs your house most often, with the hour it tends to arrive in: the morning rush, after school, 6pm or bedtime.

It will give the house the words

So the next time it happens there is something to call it, instead of defending it. You always do this becomes that was Channel.

It will not grade you

There is no pass mark, no ranking, and nothing to be good or bad at.

It’s not a parenting test

It does not tell you who you are, and it does not label anyone in the house. It names what is running, right now, under pressure.

It’s not a diagnosis

It’s not therapy, counselling, family therapy or a clinical assessment, and it’s not a substitute for any of them. It is for the everyday pressure moment at 7am and 6pm.
