Clarity for every curious mind

At Literal Guides for Literal Thinkers, we believe every child deserves straightforward, explicit guidance. Discover our journey, our commitment to empowering families, and how we're making complex life skills accessible to all.

Our journey began with a personal need

As a parent of a neurodivergent child, the struggle to find resources that explained life skills clearly and directly was real. Most advice relied on social nuance and implied expectations, which simply didn't work. When I couldn’t find them, I created them. This personal insight led to the creation of 'Literal Guides for Literal Thinkers' and the book 'Your Body, Your Life'.

Empowering families with confidence and clarity

We want families to feel confident teaching complex life skills without guesswork. Our aim is for children to understand their bodies, boundaries, and responsibilities in a clear, respectful way that reduces confusion and anxiety, fostering independence and well-being. This is about building understanding and trust, ensuring children thrive into adulthood.

Why 'literal guides' stand apart

Most resources assume children will pick up on implied meaning. Literal Guides breaks skills down step by step, using direct language and structured progression. That clarity matters, especially for neurodivergent learners who thrive on explicit instruction rather than social inference. This approach is fundamental to all our resources from Literal Guides for Literal Thinkers.

Guiding families through crucial life stages

Parents benefit most from our structured approach, particularly when navigating puberty, boundaries, independence, and real-world skills like driving. Literal Guides for Literal Thinkers helps overcome vague guidance, communication breakdowns, and the fear of teaching sensitive topics incorrectly, providing clarity and confidence for families everywhere.
