100mph from 7am to 7pm: What is happening in a body that will not stop

Description

Not how do I stop it. What is it looking for?

Some bodies need a great deal of information to feel settled. Without enough of it, a body goes looking.

A short book about the child who is going before their eyes are open and still going at seven at night. Why wearing them out does not work, and what does.

Nothing here makes a still child. That is not the aim and it is not on offer. It makes the day less relentless for both of you.

“Give the body what it is after.”

Who it’s for

For the parent of a child who has one speed, and who has been told to tire them out. Ages 2 to 8, and for the adult more than the child.

The book

This book supports everyday emotional awareness. It is not a screening tool and it is 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.
