Download the logbook
Wallet-sized, for a purse, a backpack, the kitchen drawer. Front and back sit side by side — fold once and you are done. No double-sided printing needed.
Download the card
All six tools at a glance — for a bedroom wall, a refrigerator door or a classroom bulletin board. So nobody has to go looking through a book at the moment it matters.
Download the posterFor teachers, counselors and after-school programs
In a group the tools work exactly the way they do at home — with one decisive difference: everybody does the Rocket Launch. Not one child in front of the others, but the whole group before starting. A child who counts the countdown together with twenty others never becomes the special case.
The Storm Check replaces the talking-to — “Where did you feel it?” works without blame and without an audience. And the Docking Card replaces the forced apology: one question instead of a sentence nobody means.
Book 2
When feelings go silent
Book 1 was for the children whose energy goes outward. Book 2 is for the others — the ones where everything goes inward, and who therefore get overlooked.
Want to know when it comes out? Leave your email address. You will get exactly one message, on the day it is published — and nothing else. No weekly newsletter, no advertising, and your address is never passed on.
A short email is enough — your address is used for that one notification and deleted afterwards.
If Lumi changed something in your house — pass it on. An honest review helps the next parent searching at eleven at night who does not know what to type. Criticism helps just as much. It makes Book 2 better.
Michael Swoboda lives with his family near Vienna, Austria. He has five children — and therefore five very different brains, all of which start at different speeds.
