Jealousy of the new sibling

Sound familiar?With others

That and what about me on their little face when you hold the baby...

The heart that stretches

What you’re living

Since the baby arrived they have got jealous and demanding, they have gone back on things they already did, and I do not know how to make room for both.

The emotional layer

What your child practices

Your little one discovers that mum or dad heart stretches to love two, without taking anything away from them

The baby arrives and the main character feels their throne taken: now they have to wait, share arms, and something shrinks inside. A grown-up teaches them a secret of the heart: it does not split into pieces to love two, it stretches and makes more room, and they still have their whole place. With moments that are just theirs and big-sibling jobs, they discover that love did not divide: it grew.

How it’s personalized

It’s not a generic story with a name on top. Each answer really changes something in the tale:

Their name

Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.

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 little sibling is about to arrive · the baby is born and everything changes · they feel the baby takes their place · they start acting like a younger child again · the baby soaks up the visitors attention.

The phrase they keep

«The baby is here. I am still yours. The heart stretches.»

How this Moment is built

We do not apply a universal arc. This situation has a specific narrative recipe: Change and belonging.

  1. 1

    Chosen situation

    Jealousy of the new sibling

  2. 2

    Skill

    Your little one discovers that mum or dad heart stretches to love two, without taking anything away from them

  3. 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. 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. 5

    Shared anchors

    The phrase shown in the catalogue is “The baby is here. I am still yours. The heart stretches.”. The final recipe also fixes the adult phrase, child phrase, main response and home practice.

  6. 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

A new sibling stirs up attachment; regression and jealousy are normal. Preparing the child, reserving individual time, giving them a valued role and not comparing protects the bond and reduces rivalry.
