Who Are They Now?: When the person you knew has been replaced by somebody else

Not losing them. Meeting them.

The first relationship was with a small child who needed you entirely. That one has ended, on schedule, and it was always going to.

A short book about the stranger in your kitchen. The shared things that expired, the opinions that arrived from nowhere, and the grief nobody offers condolences for.

Nothing here to do tomorrow. This one is not about your child.

"Ask how the game works."

Who it's for

For the parent who has noticed that the child they knew has been replaced, on schedule, by somebody else. Ages 8 to 12 (3rd to 7th grade in the US), and for the adult more than the child.

A parenting book, in pocket guide format.

Everyday Signals is our range for the grown-up. Short books about the moments that repeat (the shut door, the worksheet, the group chat), written for the person managing them rather than the child having them. Little Signals is the companion range, written for children themselves. No quick fixes. No hype. Regulation before optimisation.
