What a child needs right now
A child grows from the ground up.
The roots are body and senses, the trunk is concentration, the branches are the languages of the world, the crown is calm. Choose the year ring and see what is alive at that age. The mark “i” tells you why the node is in the tree.

Why a tree, and not a list of subjects
The parent’s language
Subject names are the teacher’s language. A parent asks “I want her to move” or “I want him to concentrate”. The tree answers in that language and leads to the same products.
Nothing moves
The tree is a layer over the catalogue, like age. Every product keeps its category and its address. A node opens the category it grows from.
Age as year rings
Age is not a branch. The same node lives across ages and begins with something different in each. The ring shows what, without hiding the rest of the tree.
