Their name
Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.
The move shakes them up
Sound familiar?Big changes
That I want my old house that cuts right through you...
The snail that carries its house
What you’re living
With the move they are overwhelmed: they miss their room, do not sleep well in the new house and everything sets them on edge.
The emotional layer
What your child practices
Your little one discovers that, like the snail, their home goes inside and travels with them to the new place
The main character leaves behind their room, their corners, and in the new house everything sounds and smells different: the body recognises nothing. They meet the snail, which always carries its house on its back and so is home wherever it goes. They learn that their home was not just the walls: it is the people, the routine, the same old teddy, and all of that travels with them. Little by little, the new house begins to sound like theirs.
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: we are about to move house · we are in the new house and everything feels strange · they miss their old room · they will not sleep in the new bedroom · the boxes and the mess unsettle them.
The phrase they keep
«We change house. My home goes inside. I am here too.»
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
The move shakes them up
- 2
Skill
Your little one discovers that, like the snail, their home goes inside and travels with them to the new place
- 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 “We change house. My home goes inside. I am here too.”. 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
Moves unsettle a child security. Keeping routines and familiar objects, narrating the change in advance and giving them a role in the new house helps rebuild the sense of home and predictability.
