After the Shout: The losing of it, the guilt after it, and the repair that counts

It went quiet, and now the loudest thing in the house is you.

Everybody has a ceiling. Tonight it arrived at ten past five, over a shoe, and the shout was out before any decision to shout was made.

A short book about the bit after. The guilt that lands while the toast is still warm, why one bad minute does not undo the years, and how to repair it so it counts.

Not a book about never shouting. That parent does not exist, and their children are not better off.

"Repair beats perfect."

Who it's for

For the parent standing in the quiet after it, with the toast still warm and the guilt already landed. Ages 8 to 12 (3rd to 7th grade in the US), and for the adult more than the child.
