Their name
Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.
Jealousy that eats them up
Sound familiar?Big emotions
That look on their face when I hold another little one...
The candle that lights another candle
What you’re living
When I give attention to another child they get jealous, demand that I look only at them and sometimes take it out on the other one.
The emotional layer
What your child practices
Your little one discovers that love is not shared out or used up: lighting another candle does not blow out their own
The main character watches love go towards someone else and something dims inside, their tummy tightens. A grown-up shows them that love is like a candle: lighting another one does not put yours out, it fills the room with more light. They learn to ask for their special time with words instead of a shove, and discover that their light stays whole even when there are more lights.
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: mum or dad holds another child · a sibling gets attention · someone praises another child in front of them · a friend has something they do not · they have to share mum or dad.
The phrase they keep
«I want my time. I ask for it. Love never runs out.»
How this Moment is built
We do not apply a universal arc. This situation has a specific narrative recipe: Change and belonging.
- 1
Chosen situation
Jealousy that eats them up
- 2
Skill
Your little one discovers that love is not shared out or used up: lighting another candle does not blow out their own
- 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
Change and belonging. Names the change truthfully, lets mixed feelings coexist, shows what connection remains and offers a concrete role or ritual. The ending neither erases the loss nor promises that everything will stay the same.
- 5
Shared anchors
The phrase shown in the catalogue is “I want my time. I ask for it. Love never runs out.”. 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
Jealousy fades when each child gets individual time and is not compared. Naming the feeling without punishing it and giving a way to ask for attention reduces aggression towards the other child.
