The water was never about water.
Bedtime is the first moment in fourteen hours when nothing is happening. For a great many children that is not restful.
A short book about the landing. The drink, the wee, the question about snakes.
What it covers
- What arrives when the day finally stops moving
- Why an earlier bedtime makes a longer landing
- What the requests are actually for
- Why the same answer every time is the answer
- How to get some of the evening back
What it will not do
Not a sleep method. No schedule, and no promise about half past seven. It shortens the landing and gives you some of the evening back.
"Say the same thing. Go down."
Who it is for
For the parent whose evening does not start until nine. Written for the parent, not the child. Ages 2 to 8.
Sixty-four pages, small enough for a coat pocket.
This book supports everyday emotional awareness. It is not a screening tool and it is not a substitute for professional guidance.
Everyday Signals: short guides for the hard bits of an ordinary day. Written for the grown-up, not the child. No quick fixes. No hype. Regulation before optimisation.

For a great many children that is not restful. It is the first time all day that there is room for everything they have been outrunning.And it all arrives at once, in the dark, in the wrong order.
