"When we're together, it's like waking up to a bright day. Warm bread and butter on a Sunday morning. A cool shower on a hot afternoon. Being with you is the best way to have hope in the world."

Psychologist Alessandro Marimpietri invites us to reflect in more depth on the relationship between parents and children and the transformative power of this love.

"There is no formula for raising children. Let's avoid them! Each child is unique and so is each parent. The relationship between parents and children has a certain order of universality and particularity, but it is from singularity that the main substrate of this encounter is extracted.

Nothing is repeated and everything is transformed: a succession of new things and inventions. But then, how are we going to learn to be parents? Looking, listening, feeling our children, accepting that, in these cases, new things always come.

Children are the best teachers for their parents. In this relationship, always incomplete, we experience the voids and the fillings, in a type of dance whose music combines affection with a willingness to transform." Alessandro Marimpietri
