The Cot

Image-1It will be my rebellious nature, will I have an innate passion for things that "do not do", I love that I will transgress the "bars" just do not tolerate. I have a natural dislike for bars, whatever they are. From young scavalcavo the gates of the stadiums to follow the concerts from under the stage, I pulled the starter to nail to avoid the closure of the level crossing passing last lying on the handlebars. When I was working in the community with children under guardianship, explain to them that they had to be "inside" was an incredible effort, which sottostavo for their own good, but at a high cost for my soul.

The question is still operating when it was time to put my daughter in bed, my thoughts could not formulate another: I behind bars not I put. Yet as I had no other alternative?

unnamedI came back to Thailand when Lanna was seven months old and I have to admit that you are accustomed to tuttonuovoinunavolta with some difficulty and sleep is one of the aspects that has suffered most. During the first month was attached to the breast very often and sometimes for a few hours: I seemed to be back in behind 6 months! At night, when I put her in her crib and she felt move, woke up immediately, indeed before immediately. Until one evening my husband has a mattress on the ground of one and a half, up little more than four fingers. Puts the sheets, system two pillows on the sides and Dudu: I do not I put up there neanchepertuttol'orodelmondo, I thought! Faced with this news I put their foot down because I could not accept a change of this magnitude: even if it is against my nature, children must sleep in their bed, and I say that and lively group of mothers in my head for some time or thought patterns or closures cultural or whatever you call.

I had read, I do not remember where, it is advisable not to take the baby in bed with mom and dad during nocturnal awakenings, while it is preferable that both the mother to lie down next to the child to calm him or feeding - and who said that co-sleeping is done only in Latvian? I did not remember this thing, certain is that in my case it worked and I solved the problem of sleep putting my daughter to sleep on the floor, how do you use in Thailand. Now when she wakes up I lie down beside avoiding them unnecessary turns on and off the couch. If you avoid the use of chairs, baby walkers, box, etc.. stimulates the psychomotor development, I believe that the contact to the ground during the hours of sleep infuse tranquility and sense of peace to the child calms down and sleeps longer. We must remember that the land was for the ancient symbol of the great mother, was considered the mother of all mothers and it is as if affidassimo our baby or child in the arms of someone more wise and experienced. Therefore: as the cradle of the best mother of all mothers?

It almost seems that out of my cultural rigidity there is something interesting to discover, and that contact with different cultures is a source of inspiration.

The High Chair…

A mom in a country that is not my sometimes is very hard: "What said the pediatrician? That the result is? What is written on the box? Where do I find the past to make tomato sauce?”.

FullSizeRender2I arrived in Thailand when my baby had 7 months and the first difficulty presented itself at mealtimes: I had a high chair and, throughout the island of Phuket, it seemed that there was a shop where you buy one. My husband is Thai, has five sisters and three brothers, each of them has children who in turn have had other children, some of which were of marriageable age, and others very small. In their homes there is the chair and I wondered where the children were sitting. In Italy, sitting on chair – beautiful straight! - Lanna finished his gruel in a short time. In Thai, I arranged on the ground where he was in direct contact with her legs, with squares of carpet, with the pillow and everything was – the remainder 7 months, everything in the world is interesting! It 'true that we live in a small town, but the West with its shopping centers had arrived here. Yet no one could tell me where to buy a highchair. It took me a few days and I finally understood: the chair does not exist in the head of the Thais or at least not in that of my husband's family!

FullSizeRenderThe Thai family is, typically, an extended family. Parents, children, grandchildren live close together, and mom is never alone, but can count on the help of all, also nieces that 10 years playing at the mommy! I was looking for a high chair for feeding when the locals prefer to eat on the ground. The children of a few months, even when not walking, are in the ground or in their parents' lap, grandparents, uncles, grandchildren. The small family does not exist and even if the mother works, at home there are at least four people who can take care of the child. One afternoon, I typed on google "child and motor development", "Children on the ground", "The pediatrician recommends". I found a lot of information on the importance of keeping children on the ground, aspect that encourages motor development and exploration, minimum use of child seats and chairs. I read that pediatricians advise against the box, as the baby could get up on two legs when still the skeletal muscle and are not able to bear the weight, and the walker as it prevents the step of crawling, essential for exploration and motor development. "Look at you these Thais!"I said, and I started to wonder what the amenities and equipment specially created for our children instead of giving them something not taken away. For example, it is true that a child in the box is safe, the chair is straight, in the walker moves easily, but perhaps through these tools we prevent them from experiencing an inner security made of experiences, of trial and error that lead to new discoveries and help them grow.

Lanna Today is twenty-two months, and for more than a year, the chair is finished in the closet. He refuses to stay on the stroller, loves walking barefoot and often prefer to eat sitting on the ground. I, meanwhile, I understand that the difficulties I have encountered or that I'm afraid I have to do to meet with a small group of mothers that is in my head and that does nothing but give me him with statements such as: "This is not done, Children must wear shoes and eat all sitting at the table!”. Sssssssst ... I have to find a way to shut him up ...

Because I live in Thailand Part II

DSCN0900I was ready to return home, my vacation in Thai could also end his return from the wild jungle. There was still a week and I wanted to sleep, think little, fuck around. So from Chang Mai I went to Phi Phi Island, lovely sea treasure of Adamantine. The days passed lens since I had no commitment or obligation to respect time: in the morning I went to the harbor, I took a long tail boat (the typical Thai boat, similar to the Venetian gondola) and I was in the open sea, remained in the water for hours, with the fishes, in caves, up and down from the rocks martoriarmi feet, while in the late afternoon I was at the beach, palm-shaded reading, eating potato chips and drinking my iced beer.

DSCN0780Phi Phi is also an open-air disco 24 h its 24 and one night a young man of twenty knocked on my door to invite me to a party - but fun: could be my son! So I decided to redo the backpack and leaving. I asked the guy who ran the guesthouse to show me a place for retirees: "Or a Phuket, I advise or Kamala Surin, there there is nothing ". The Lonely Planet described Kamala as a fishing village, frequented by families with small children; Surin struck me as the evening, along the sea was filled with kiosks where locals cook fresh fish. With a fast ship I arrived in Phuket, where I took a taxi to Surin. I still wonder how my life would be today if I had not arrived in Kamala.

DSCN0897In fact I have to thank the taxi driver did not know the address of the hotel in Surin, while he had a high opinion of Benjamin Kamala, and my innate mental laziness – I did not want to commit myself with map and guide! - And so I let myself accompany Kamala. From my hotel I saw a strip of white sand under the palm trees and in the evening, to the 22, the restaurants on the beach already were preparing to close: a place forgotten by God, what he did for me. One evening at sunset, while walking on the bathroom dries, I can against a man: curls blacks Shoulder, eyes laughing, cute smile, a slender body and dry.

& Nbsp;

DSCN0881"Do you want a massage?"I asked - that in Thailand and 'a rhyme continues at every corner! I have just crossed his eyes - mine was a holiday in solitary and I would never upset my my projects, even with bar talk - and I pulled straight just responding with a no, in my view, decided. His insistence united to her so kind and sympathetic prevented me from continuing, so, in front of a banana shake, We chatted for a long. We spent together the next day and the next. In the late afternoon, when Alee - his name - he finished work, took me around everywhere, then to dinner, then with friends, until I came back to Italy.

Because I live in Thailand

& Nbsp;

DSCN0653"Go in Thailand, is a beautiful country and life is cheap!”, so four years ago, before Christmas, I left for my holiday flights, not aware of how much I would have cost, and not in economic terms! I need a vacation out of my patterns, and after a couple of weeks traveling around Thailand I went in the north, a Chan Mai, where I left my suitcase in a guesthouse, I prepared a backpack with a towel to the bidet, two pairs of underwear, two shirts, bikini, toothbrush and toothpaste. For a week I decided to say goodbye to your computer, the silkepil, the scrub, to body creams, enamel. I wanted to walk, walk, scalar.

& Nbsp;

DSCN0642I felt that I needed the contact with nature, where the needs do not exist. So I headed a local guide. Walked for an average of seven hours a day, we reached remote villages without running water or electricity where he fished and sciabattavo for the wild jungle. I never made it harder in my life: mosquitoes, moisture and hot damn did not give me respite and gave me no respite the fact of knowing that on arrival there were still four hours, three hours, due, that the next day would be equal, that while rampavo on those paths and wet

& Nbsp;

DSCN0645slippery I could not think and fly away with thoughts, but I had to stay there, with eyes on where I was going. And every now doubled, day but they seemed to 36 hours, week a month: it was just me, in the wild jungle. And my guide, Pond. Without him – young Thai with chronological age of twenty-two, declared the birth six years later because the parents did not have the means to get to the office births - I'd still be there.

& Nbsp;

& Nbsp;

DSCN0636Whenever I asked him what was missing on arrival I replied ridendosela: “three hours, but for you Debby six hours”, is also why the weather did not seem to pass ever. I could never repeat a similar experience, although for the first time I felt satisfied and proud of the road that I had traveled with my legs. I felt full of energy and emptied from those thoughts that complicate the lives of every day. I was finally ready to return to Italy and resume my life and my work.

Crù crùùù! Paleolone Pallone – quite sour! – the garbage man of the station. Flight on the tracks, zip along between a carriage and the other, pirouetted among travelers up to swoop down and hey presto, with a steering angle of wings landed pointing the spout into the slots to collect the crumbs ...! Work fine precision, in which speed and quickness are no exception! Yes yes yes, my friends, Paleolone Pallone for the Pigeon, pour Paleolon Pallon the Piccion quickly and well go hand in hand together!

Una via e una briciolina is briciolina! A touch of beak and a sweep of wings and all end up crumbs in my saddlebag! Via dive down there and a high jump here, work Paleolone Pallone is an obsession!

But sometimes struggling to gain acceptance! Crù crùùù! Are precisely those times when I, Paleolone Pallone, are the obsession! Giravolta horizontally and then down at the sight of a rolling sweet crumb. My jet wings, however,, causes havoc among humans: ooooh aaaah of uuuuuh!!! Via, via, or viaaaaa! But the crumbs are right there close, how do i? I have to go? I am the garbage man Paleolone Pallone station! And who else would I be? C'est moi ... because I can not be myself?

The Rice Cooker

IMG_1427In front of your child, even if you are Angela Merkel, self-esteem and confidence may falter and often ... I have been a severe trial during weaning. Do not cook, I do not like it, and, despite my efforts, is an activity that I find it bad, which clashes with the manual "From 0 a 6 year old, growth for the family ". The difficulty is not to prepare the vegetable broth, steaming, pass the vegetables and melt the cream of rice but in faretuttoinsieme, or at least in a linear sequence. In Italy, my kitchen could not bear so much: there was no room for two pots, due scolini, the axis to cut vegetables, the bowl for rice cream and spoons and knives – having never cooked I tend to get lost in a glass of water half full at the first step! –IMG_1428

Experience makes the difference, but I did not have and did not give signs of improvement. And most of the morning flew away to 400 grams of porridge with everything still to reorder. Result: esteem underfoot and stress. In Thailand I finally solved the issue with the rice cooker. E 'an electric pot, widely used in Asia for cooking rice, This fundamental food at every meal of the day (and for every meal I also mean breakfast!!). In practice: I put water in the pot and vegetables to the broth, cover with a kind of pan with holes where you prepare the vegetables steamed and I place the lid. The rice cooker is made of two layers comfortable and practical. Time of use: hour. Once the broth and vegetables are ready the rice cooker keeps everything warm. Result: I feel someone in the kitchen ... Rice cooker forever!

I no they do grow: but how do you?

  • "My son does not understand when I tell him no. But how can you who are psychologist?”

  • “…”

  • "When something can not be done is not done, o no?”

  • "Would you like a cup of coffee?”

When I compare between mothers and I are made of the claims, I tend to move the conversation, For my work or my studies do not make me a mom more acute than the other. In addition to, good coffee is good coffee, and there is no question ...

Speaking of "no", do an exercise, let's get in the shoes of our children, free the mind and:

  • "DO NOT think of a pink dog!

  • I told you not to think of a pink dog NO, NO and NO poi, and if you do not say is NO NO, clear?

  • In short, just, I told you not to think of a pink dog, what happens?”.

It happens that we have thought of a dog rose. We did the same thing they do our children every time we tell them not to do something. In realtà, not "we have disobeyed", on the contrary, we are in perfect harmony with the activity of our brain that, moreover, it works fine. What emerges from this exercise is that you need to know: Our brain does not understand the no, is organized in such a way that does not include the denial. We adults are the fastest, understand when we do not have food to eat, drinking a beverage, stay away from danger or to comply with a prohibition as we experience, we have memory, we have come to know and, over time, we have become increasingly aware of what is happening around us. When, eg, say to a child "do not move", his brain registers "move" and "not", that is, two different messages that contradict each other. In other words, understands "come on". In più, often, are many situations with high emotional impact: the risk of the child getting hurt is real, the concern generated voltage, we get angry and raise our voices. In this way, creates an even greater confusion in the child's head, which is not in the condition to understand and act accordingly.

Between eight and twelve months, the children spoke the first words, but for some time now using all five senses to learn. Language development begins early and gradual: includes words, gestures, meanings, is a company passionate but not always easy. A child who wants to do it alone, that transgresses, that "foot down and not let go" is a vibrant and healthy child (unless there are no diagnosis of cognitive disorder or personality). The question is therefore tricky: how to pass rules and prohibitions that are understood and implemented as "no" and "not done" do not work (at least not always work!)? It appears that "they do not grow" lead to very few results, while effects have the best experiences "positive" of the ban.

According to experts developmental, because both positive and productive experience for a child - we are interested that our son / daughter does a certain thing!- is essential: pronounce the words properly understand why; communicate with peaceful tone to avoid creating tension; look at him to get his attention. For example, we think of when we learn a foreign language, a computer program or when we buy a cell phone and we have to understand how it works: we need clear instructions and a peaceful environment to focus and learn things. To explain to a child - especially if it has between twelve months and three or four years- one thing you should not do, is a difficult, and home, the park or the mall often become a gym wrestling!

I'm arranging a simple game, that requires a bit of creativity on my part and with my daughter, who is a year and a half, most of the time it works. When it's something that can not, if conditions permit me, I practice to make the ban "a positive experience". In practice, proibisco, place, the rules but do not use the words "no" and "no" - I remember that as a child I used to play the same way in which those who answered yes, no, lost black and white! In practice: when he wants to pick up the knife say: "That you can use to nine years'. Idem col caffè, screwdriver or anything I forgot to home; when you want to walk in the road: "Only the machines can go from here, people and children are on the sidewalk "; when one wants to touch a kitten that does not know or a child in the cradle: "Make a plan caress, very gently "; when he wants to get my cream: "This is Mother's Day and this is Lanna!”. Sometimes I will just describe what you want to touch: "The power of light has the holes are too small for your little fingers"; "The wheelbarrow is heavy"; "Porridge hot yet". It is not always easy, I often come out of the sentences really absurd! One time, after a day's work, outside the supermarket, full of bags, rain and with my little girl who did not want to get in the car I said: "Lanna gets wet hair", still do not understand why, but these words, while leaving it in disbelief, have borne fruit and entered into the machine.

I think it works the desire to communicate with my child in a simple and clear language and my desire to make them recognize the dangers, so that it can move freely in space using the things that meets in its path of growth.

Therefore, only rule of the game: Do not use "no" and "not" ... indeed we enter the game immediately: we use all the words except the unpronounceable ... that our brain is able to understand only to a certain point of existence.

The band tuttalavita: parte I

& Nbsp;

imageThe first time I took Lanna in the band seemed to have a chick lying on the chest: the felt relaxed and completely abandoned, but, at the same time, safe, well supported because the sling. The most difficult thing is to put the child in the band, but it is a psychological difficulty as when it has to do with any change… It 'very long, and this is something that scares. The first time - but also the second and third! - Think: and now? At first my husband was giving me a hand, but now with a little 'practice knotted band alone without any help. The first seven months of life of my child and I was in Italy where I lived, in the Province of Mantua, nobody takes the kids in the band and at the park or along the path met prams and strollers.

imageThey looked at me with amazement and a bit 'of surprise and sometimes some old women let themselves go to comments such as "but it is not uncomfortable? “YOUR 'A WARM!!!"And my favorite" poor thing ... look where he put it!”. The comment about the heat but in the end it affected me - eh mums “dapocotempomamme” you always leave circumvent while they should have more confidence in themselves! - And during the summer I put the Didymos and I bought the From Coast in one of the most innovative children's shops in Mantova, Pisoli and Pannoli. It 'an Italian product and retains those essential requirements of the manufacture and quality of materials. I've always used: we visited Rome, glaciers in the high mountains, We went shopping in Milan and long walks by the sea.

imageI took all sorts of means: bus, the train, l’aereo, the meter, la Barca, the cable car and my baby could sleep peacefully even in the midst of confusion! The From Coast is much easier to wear but when Lanna has exceeded 5 kg are returned to use Didymos: the special structure supports your back so that you do not feel pain, even after a whole day walking around and despite the weight gain (with the Didymos you can bring a child up to 15 kg in pesos!) .
I consider the band a tool that allows me to bring Lanna in a way that is in my comfort zone. The hands free is a balm to the spirit: do the shopping, shopping and breakfast bar. It 's true that if your child understands that it is in the sling so that the mother can do other, how to finish cleaning such, may refuse to stay there. Children are very sensitive, They soon learn how to stay in the relationship and if you are outside of our attention and care - especially if the goal is to spend time together! - Do not wait a minute to let us note! I do not believe those who say "with the band creates a unique bond and then the little girl wants to be alone in his mother's arms". I think the band is a tool that, in addition to being very practical, consolidates and enriches the mother-child relationship.

imageThe first few weeks, the children are very young, need security and closeness because they are very afraid and easily frightened. Pediatricians and obstetricians recommend it to be close to them, embrace them and lull them. The band allows them to adapt to the environment in a phased manner, with an ear turned to the heart of the mother and the other to the outside world. The kids in the band calm down and this sense of tranquility is internalized and carried within himself. In this way, it will reinforce the foundation for self-esteem and self-confidence, fundamental to the development of cognitive and personality. When Lanna understands that it is time to enter the wing flaps its legs fast, happy shakes my arms around his neck and will not move until it's close in the sling. He understood that with mom or dad is going to go somewhere, and that happen to see something wonderful: The Coliseum, Milan Cathedral, il mare, glaciers and waterfalls in the mountains, but also new people to observe.

Tribute to Robin Williams – 11 August 2014

image

Why I climbed up here? Whoever guesses?
To feel high!
No! Thank you for participating ... I climbed up here, on the desk, to remind myself that we must constantly look at things from different angles. And the world looks different from up here. I have not convinced? Come see for yourself. Courage! It 'just when you think you know something you have to look at it from another perspective. Although it may seem silly or absurd we have to try. Here: when you read do not just consider the author, considered what you think. Children, you have to fight to find your voice. Later you will begin to do so, bigger than the risk of not finding all. Thoreau says, "many men have lives of quiet desperation", not be resigned to that. Ribellatevi. Do not stifle the mental laziness, look around. Osate Change, looking for new ways.

Dead Poets Society

& Nbsp;

It was the 1989, I 15 years and the enthusiasm of those who believe blindly the words of Professor. Keating. In 1997, usciva Will Hunting – Genio ribelle, sophomore psychology: I decided that I would do the same work of Dr. Sean McGuire.

A 40 year old, the words of the famous monologue delivered by Prof.. Keating has a different meaning, since after 25 year old, simply, everyone has a different sense. He encouraged the students of the college traditionalist 673d5fc5b78ea2f1cdf13feeb05289e1male Welton to look at things from a different perspective, to rebel against the mental laziness, to seek new ways. He asked his students to "feel", do not know, for this was a professor outside the box.

Today, to school, we ask the kids to play on their topics most memorable experiences and to draw a moral, whereas it is the life on which less reflected, life is not subjected to digestion and boiling in the belly that we feel is worth living: on the contrary, the purpose of life, in his youth, is live.

We have the duty to support our children to live their life considering what they themselves think, I'm, love. And we adults, parents, teachers, Educators, Professor, when we think we know something about our kids we have to look at it from another perspective, even though it may seem absurd or silly we must try.

Thank you captain because you have inspired me.

Grazie Robin Williams.

The Myth of Er

image(1)

In "The Soul's Code", Hillman is inspired by Plato's myth of Er that arises at the end of The Republic, ancient work, written about two thousand years ago. The myth speaks of the soul, term should not be understood in a religious sense. Indeed, it concerns an inner aspect of the human, which acts in accordance with rules and needs very different from those of the body, but as the body needs nourishment and care. The soul is interested, you will, passions that manifests according to the logic that are not decipherable at first sight. In addition to, Hillman points out a very interesting aspect, or that the concept of the soul is present in almost every culture on earth and is considered the core of the personality (precisely because it is considered the core of the personality, is it any wonder why we in the West we have eliminated from the texts of psychology and psychiatry!).

Greek mythology has an important role in our culture. Such as science (in particular the population genetics, the biological, paleontology) teach us that the culture took its first steps in Africa – yes we are all Africans, and we mettercelo in head! – and the theory of evolution Darwin reveals to us that we were monkeys – This already seems easier to accept! – the same way as the culture and tradition have undergone profound changes. Of always, l’uomo migra, habitat changes, strives to survive in nature and where it settles builds, transforms, reclamation not only in a practical sense but also cultural and social. Therefore, simplifying, Today we can be said to be an Italian people, Franco Tedesco, but once we were a nation Latin, before greek, more back in time and so on Assyrian, until the man was a monkey and lived in a group on the African continent. In other words, concerns not only the evolution of our planet and the man but also the culture and tradition. Greek mythology belongs to our past cultural-we were Greeks! - And, as far as we know today, the idea of ​​the soul goes back some two thousand years ago, thanks to the greek philosopher Plato, that, in his works, harks back to the Greek myths. According to the "genetics of cultures", the concept of the soul belongs to us by right, it's just that we stopped occuparcene. Indeed: ever think the soul of our son? In addition to physical care - pap, poop, nanna - consider the care of the soul? Namely, as parents, we are willing to take an interest in the inner world of our children? Or become an aspect to be considered only when difficulties arise?

The myth of Er explains that before birth, the soul of each of us chooses a pattern of life that we will live on earth. The soul chooses the body, the place, parents, situations of life suited to the soul itself and corresponding to its needs. In addition to, the soul gets a companion - daemon - that will guide us. Once you come into the world, forget our choice. And 'The daimon which reminds us of the contents of our design to life, the Daimon is the bearer of our destiny, or vocation (terms considered synonymous). Plato tells this myth that we do not forget our soul and its choices.

Because our destiny is fulfilled, the Daimon gets to work from an early age and you can not block his way. The problems and difficulties of life are part of the pattern of life that we have chosen, are necessary and contribute to realize. The call may be postponed, denied, lost sight of, does not matter: eventually it will come out, because the daemon does not abandon us and has the tough task of helping the soul to fulfill its vocation. Since ancient times, philosophers and poets have sought a name for fate or vocation. For the Latins was the genius, for Christians, the guardian angel, for the spirit of the Eskimos, for the Egyptians or the Ka Ba, for the Greeks the daimon.

image(2)

The Soul's Code is subject to the fate, the vocation, the character: the things that, together, give substance to what Hilman called "acorn theory". The acorn is the seed that will become a huge oak, Hillman and becomes a metaphor for fundamental existence: the image of an entire destiny is all crammed into an acorn. This theory explains that each of us carries a uniqueness that asks to be lived and the voice calling is loud and insistent voices as repressive environment (or family, school, the group of friends).

Therefore, what will ever find so interesting about a mother who every day has two hundred million thing to do in The Soul's Code? A great deal of, because it will start to reflect on the soul of your child, on its uniqueness and to think that it came into the world alone, bensì with a custode angelo, o daimon.
