Everyday Signals
Books for the person managing the moment, not the one having it.
Everyday Signals is written for you. Each one takes a single repeating situation — the twenty minutes before you leave, the plate nobody will eat from, the screen going off, the landing outside a bedroom at half past eight — and explains what is actually happening underneath it, then what helps.
They are short on purpose. Sixty-four pages, small enough for a coat pocket. Nobody in the middle of that afternoon is going to read three hundred pages about it.
No methods, no schedules, no charts, and nothing that requires you to be a calmer person than you currently are. Twelve titles for the years between two and eight, available singly or in four sets.
Little Signals is the companion range, written for children themselves.
