Uncle Is Off to Asia

Uncle is packing his suitcase, and Jörö jumps right in – all the way into the case. Uncle tapes Jörö’s photo inside the lid, because they will both miss each other. When the door closes, Jörö lies on his back and starts to dream: a bridge of love carries him after Uncle to Asia – into an elephant’s rainbow fountain in India, onto a scooter and up to a durian in Vietnam, and to the top of Mount Fuji above the clouds. Then Jörö pads into Dad’s safe arms and, just before falling asleep, remembers: Uncle will surely be home for Christmas.

The Mushroom Trip

Ansku comes to visit, and the whole gang heads into the autumn forest to pick mushrooms: a treat walk with Mummo, a cheerful dented car, a basket of buns, chasing games with the little boys and a basket full of chanterelles. By evening Jörö’s battery is empty. When Mom says “Bedtime now”, a tantrum comes. Mom stays calm as can be, holds him close and strokes him from nose to paws. Calm soothes a tantrum.

Jörö and Friends

His sister Ansku is Jörö’s best friend: they wrestle, run under the apple trees, splash in the lake and dig big holes. Ledi knows how to set boundaries, and Jörö looks up to big, gentle Karhu. But when Jörö gets tired and Nalle the pug is sitting in Mummo’s lap again, jealousy, grumpiness and sadness come. Under the sofa Jörö breathes and thinks, and Mummo’s lap is waiting. There is enough love for everyone.

Welcome Home

How it all began: on a winter day, little Jörö is picked up from the kennel. The car ride is scary, until he remembers he’s a rocker. At Mummo’s house he is wrapped up as a present for Jasmin, who thinks he’s a guinea pig. Fear calms down with play, with his sister and friends. And in Mummo’s lap.

Mummo’s tips

Little bits of wisdom from real moments with Jörö.

Name the feeling

“You look excited.” A feeling with a name is easier to be with.

Check the battery

Anyone gets grumpy when tired. Breaks, snacks and rest recharge.

Breathe

Breathe in and count to four. Then a long “phew” out – together, like Ledi and Jörö.

Share the joy

Once things are calm again, talk about what happened.

Stay calm

When a little one in the defiant phase gets worked up, keep your own calm. Calm soothes a tantrum.

Follow Jörö on social media

Every post, all in one place.

Good night, Jörö.
