They Won’t Tell Me What’s Wrong: Why the question closes the door, and when the answer actually comes

£9.99

A short guide about the gate, the bath and the car. It looks at why the direct question produces nothing, why nothing is often an honest answer from a child still assembling one, and why it all comes out hours later and sideways. The aim is not to get a child talking on demand, but to make sure there is somewhere for it to go when it is ready. For any adult who keeps asking and keeps getting fine.

Description

How was school? Fine.

Nothing is often an honest report. The answer is not assembled yet, and being asked for it is the thing stopping it finishing.

A short book about the gate, the bath and the car. Why the direct question produces nothing, and why it all comes out four hours later, sideways.

The aim is not to get them talking. It is to make sure that when the thing is ready, there is somewhere for it to go.

“Be busy. Be near. Wait.”

Who it’s for

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.
