Their name
Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.
Loud noises overwhelm them
Sound familiar?Fears and courage
Seeing them cover their ears and shrink from a noise...
The tamer of roars
What you’re living
A loud noise — the hairdryer, thunder, firecrackers — completely undoes them and they cover their ears and scream.
The emotional layer
What your child practices
Your little one learns they can make the noise smaller: cover their ears, breathe and know it will pass
The hairdryer roars, the vacuum roars, the thunder roars, and the main character whole body shrinks. They learn to be a tamer of roars: they cannot make the noise vanish, but they can cover their ears, breathe deeply and remember that every roar ends. Little by little they discover how long each one lasts and that they stay whole when it passes. The roar does not go silent, but it grows small when they know what to expect.
How it’s personalized
It’s not a generic story with a name on top. Each answer really changes something in the tale:
Their age (2-3 or 4-6)
The text adapts: shorter, concrete sentences for little ones; a touch more nuance for older kids.
What they love
Their interests (dinosaurs, the sea, trains…) weave into the story so they stay hooked.
The situation you live
You pick the exact moment that triggers the overwhelm at home: the story starts there, not in a generic example.
How they show the feeling
Whether they shout, drop to the floor or shut down: the hero lives it in a similar way, so they recognise themselves.
The situation you live, for example: the hairdryer or the vacuum starts · there is a thunderstorm · firecrackers or fireworks go off · a noisy place overwhelms them · a motorbike or roadwork starts nearby.
The phrase they keep
«The noise roars. I breathe. It grows small.»
How this Moment is built
We do not apply a universal arc. This situation has a specific narrative recipe: Agency and safety.
- 1
Chosen situation
Loud noises overwhelm them
- 2
Skill
Your little one learns they can make the noise smaller: cover their ears, breathe and know it will pass
- 3
Need
We read behaviour as a signal and identify the need this recipe may support, without turning that working hypothesis into a diagnosis.
- 4
Tilo recipe
Agency and safety. Uses plain language, hears a bodily boundary or preference, identifies a safe adult or accommodation and practises one direct phrase. It does not infer a diagnosis from behaviour or aim to normalise, cure or inspire pity.
- 5
Shared anchors
The phrase shown in the catalogue is “The noise roars. I breathe. It grows small.”. The final recipe also fixes the adult phrase, child phrase, main response and home practice.
- 6
Complete Moment
The same recipe coordinates the illustrated story, narration, song, activity and family guide.
Five pieces, one consistent message
The anchors are checked across all five pieces. If one changes, the complete Moment is reviewed so it never gives mixed instructions.
The pedagogical why
Oversensitivity to certain noises is real and common. Anticipating the sound, giving a sense of control (earplugs, covering ears, stepping out) and predictability (knowing it will end) reduces distress better than forcing them to put up with it.

Grounded in developmental psychology and citable sources. It does not replace a professional’s assessment; if anything worries you, talk to your paediatrician.
