Everyday Signals: Underneath the Behaviour — 4 Pocket Guides

Not how do I stop it. What is it doing?

Behaviour is the part you can see. It is rarely the part that is actually happening. A body that will not stop is looking for something. A child who argues every rule is checking something. A child who falls apart at four o’clock has been holding something since nine.

What is in the set

• 100mph from 7am to 7pm — what is happening in a body that will not stop
• Two More Minutes — what is happening when the screen goes off, and the floor arrives
• Everything Is a Negotiation — why they argue every rule, and what they are actually checking
• Fine at School, Falling Apart at Home — why they hold it together all day and let go the moment they see you

What it will not do
None of these are behaviour strategies, and none of them will make a still, compliant child. That is not the aim. They explain what the behaviour is for, which is usually the thing that makes it shorter.

Who it’s for

For the parent who has tried the charts and the consequences and would rather understand what is driving it. A pocket guide for the parent, not the child. Ages 2 to 8.

These books support everyday emotional awareness. They are not a screening tool and they are not a substitute for professional guidance.

Everyday Signals is our range for the grown-up. Short books about the moments that repeat — the hallway, the plate, the landing at bedtime — 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.
