How to read it

The top four cards are the child: their state, body and sleep, fear, and the request they cannot put into words. Read them gently and literally: at this age a card speaks of routine, teeth or a fright far more often than of destiny. The lower arc is the cradle they lie in: home, adults, daily order, habits and the coming months. A small child mirrors the household, so the arc usually explains the top row. Find the one card in the arc that contradicts the others — that is the small domestic thing to remove first.

Positions

  1. How the little one is

    The child's overall state these days: calm, excitement, exhaustion or a change under way.

  2. Body and sleep

    What is happening with body and sleep: teeth, growth, routine, too little movement or air.

  3. Their fear

    What the child is actually afraid of: the dark, separation, a raised voice, a new place.

  4. What the crying asks

    The request the child expresses through tantrum, crying or stubbornness instead of words.

  5. What calms them

    The action, person or ritual that returns the little one to calm fastest.

  6. What they read at home

    The household mood the child catches without words and plays back through behaviour.

  7. Mother through their eyes

    How the child sees their mother now and what is missing in that bond.

  8. The second adult

    The role of the father or another close adult in the child's life right now.

  9. What to remove

    The habit, object or daily event that makes settling hardest for the child.

  10. The coming months

    The change awaiting the child in the coming months and what the parents should prepare for.
