I'm Katie Stacey — mother of two strong-willed boys, former BBC & National Geographic wildlife journalist, and founder of The Wild Shift.
I spent a decade documenting how environments shape behaviour. Not through force — but through conditions. When I became a parent, I realised I'd been studying family life all along.
The Wild Shift is nature-led parenting for parents of children ten and under. Change the conditions, and behaviour follows.
This is not behaviour management. It is identity work. When the parent shifts first, the whole family follows. This is a space for parents who are ready to go first.
Access is reviewed to protect the integrity of this space.
"Helping families return to nature, wonder, and calm feels more important than ever. The Wild Shift empowers parents to make those moments part of everyday life." — WildlifeKate, UK Nature Educator
