  • Unpacking your Child's Potential

  • With the birth of a child you are given an assignment:

     

    To help and guide that child to be all they can be.

  • With the birth of a child you are given an assignment:

     

    To help and guide that child to be all they can be.

  • It is an assignment unlike any other...

     

    The demands on your time, energy, wallet and… ingenuity.
    It is multi-faceted, each facet unfolding on its own time.
    The Assignment cascaded from one generation to the next,
    each generation begins anew.

  • Fulfilling the Assignment...

     

    If you can say to yourself:
    "I am doing the best I can with the resources I have at hand."
    This is all anyone can ask of you.

     

    Ever.

  • Hidden Resources?

    There are resources within you that spring out of dormancy when you become a parent.
    Like a muscle group, you use them or lose them.

     

    The time has come to tap those hidden resources.

     

    Welcome to the Acorn Assignment!

  • The Acorn Assignment is...

    A Journey…

    The Acorn Assignment is a guided journey of exploration and discovery of the potential unfolding within you and your child.

    A no-nonsense minimalist approach…

    Tools and strategies to fulfil the Assignment, nothing more, nothing less. The content is based on natural timeless principles and aligns with modern science.

    Not rushed…

    Each parent has their own aspirations, worldview, background and demands on time and energy. The program is flexible, enabling you to discover and formulate your own interpretation of the content and progress in your time and in your way.

    A Unique Experience…

    Learning Experience Design (LXD) principles have been integrated into the Acorn Assignment to create a unique experience, similar in many ways to learning to swim. Your interpretation of the content will evolve as you and your child grow, opening up new possibilities....

  • When I became a dad, I was overjoyed, puzzled, lazy, a bit of a rebel. I looked for a better way.

    Today I am the father of three adult sons, a recovering engineer - I develop stuff.
    From a very early age I have been curious about how things come to be - in nature, in our constructed world and in your mind and mine. This curiosity morphed into a deep fascination in process and outcome and the subtle dance between them.
    I have developed the Acorn Assignment to provide a fresh, simple and timeless perspective on being a parent in the 2020's and beyond.

    My name is Keith Marble.

The future belongs to the curious,

The ones who are not afraid to try it, explore it, poke at it, question it and turn it inside out.
