Their name
Your child is the hero: their name appears in the story and in the narration.
Dramas when turning off the screen
Sound familiar?Big changes
That daily standoff to turn off the tablet without drama...
I want to keep going, and it is time to stop
What you’re living
Every time the screen has to go off a huge tantrum erupts, they ask for five more minutes nonstop and it all ends in a fight.
The emotional layer
What your child practices
Your child learns to stay with the frustration when something enjoyable ends, without the limit having to change before they can settle
The episode ends and the main character wants more. The adult names the ending, offers a closed choice and holds the limit without arguing. Anger is allowed; hurting or throwing is not. No trick makes the feeling vanish: the adult stays available, respects a refusal of touch and waits for the child to reconnect. Later they rehearse other small endings with Tilo.
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 TV or tablet has to be turned off · they ask for five more minutes without end · they throw a tantrum when the screen is taken away · the switch from screen to bath or dinner · they want a screen right before bed.
The phrase they keep
«I don't like it, but I can do it.»
How this Moment is built
We do not apply a universal arc. This situation has a specific narrative recipe: Limit or overwhelm.

Skill

Need
We read behaviour as a signal and identify the need this recipe may support, without turning that working hypothesis into a diagnosis.

Tilo recipe
Limit or overwhelm. Anticipates the concrete ending, validates while holding the limit, offers a closed choice and follows through without imposing support. It separates feelings from harmful behaviour and reconnects in the child's time. No trick erases the discomfort, and breathing, hugs or a repeated phrase are never compulsory.
- 5
Shared anchors
The phrase shown in the catalogue is “I don't like it, but I can do it.”. 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
At the emotional peak, the adult holds a clear limit with few words, validates the wish and offers help without forcing it. Predictability and consistency help; the aim is not to prevent all protest, but to practise moving through discomfort without making the limit disappear.
