Their name
Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.
They hit, push or bite
Sound familiar?With others
The shame and shock when they hit another child...
The hands that learn to talk
What you’re living
When they get frustrated or something is taken away, the first thing they do is hit, push or bite, and I do not know how to stop it without shouting.
The emotional layer
What your child practices
Your little one learns that their hands can ask and say stop with the voice, instead of hitting
When anger arrives, the main character hands jump ahead and hit before they can think. A grown-up stops the blow firmly and warmly (I will not let you hit; your hands are for caring) and teaches them that hands can talk too: they can ask, point, and the mouth can say a big stop. The skill is not swallowing the anger, it is teaching the hands another language.
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: a toy is taken and they hit · they get frustrated and lash out · they bite or push when angry · they hit a sibling or a friend · they react with their hands before their voice.
The phrase they keep
«Hands still. I use my voice: Stop!»
How this Moment is built
We do not apply a universal arc. This situation has a specific narrative recipe: Social repair.
- 1
Chosen situation
They hit, push or bite
- 2
Skill
Your little one learns that their hands can ask and say stop with the voice, instead of hitting
- 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
Social repair. Protects first, then names the need without labelling the child, rehearses a concrete alternative and repairs through a doable action. The relationship can reconnect without a forced apology, a lecture at the peak or public shame.
- 5
Shared anchors
The phrase shown in the catalogue is “Hands still. I use my voice: Stop!”. 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
Hitting and biting are normal around ages 2-3, when the impulse arrives before the words. Stopping the behaviour with a firm limit (action, not a speech) and teaching a replacement skill works better than punishing; punishment does not teach what to do instead.
