Showing results for "Barbara" in Parenting

The crisis of unfulfilled lives unfolds gradually, often with acquiesced boredom and a flimsy search for purpose. Our relevancy comes into question, or we succumb to the idea that the future will be one of slow-moving ambition and then an even slower glide into comfort as the flush of freedom fades. We can change this outcome if we want to. We should want to. The 60-Something Crisis: How to Live an Extraordinary Life in Retirement is the first book to circumvent the tired approaches of finding purpose, or using reinvention to discover a path of fulfillment after sixty.

Her experiences are extraordinary, from countless nights sleeping under a claw foot tub to evade her abuser to witnessing the burning of an interracial couple.

Essere genitori competenti, capaci di «allenare» i nostri figli alla vita, non è facile. Soprattutto in questo inizio di terzo millennio, dominato dall'attrazione magnetica che il mondo online esercita su bambini e ragazzi. Da una parte, infatti, ci siamo noi adulti, con il nostro progetto educativo, desiderosi di fornire ai più giovani tutti gli strumenti di cui hanno bisogno per diventare grandi.

Non è vero che tutte le famiglie felici si assomigliano. La felicità non è la totale assenza di problemi, non è un'unità di misura e nemmeno una foto incorniciata in bella mostra sopra uno scaffale del salotto. La felicità - in quel turbolento e sempre diverso ecosistema che si crea ovunque ci sia un rapporto tra genitori e figli - è piuttosto qualcosa che ha a che fare con la consapevolezza e l'autostima.

Due lineette sul test, e di colpo la nostra vita cambia per sempre. Fino a un momento fa eravamo noi due soli, una coppia, ora saremo in tre (o in quattro, in cinque...). È un'ondata di felicità, stiamo toccando il cielo con un dito, eppure allo stesso tempo non possiamo nascondere mille paure. All'improvviso bisogna ridefinire la vita: le priorità, gli impegni, i ruoli, il rapporto con l'altro. E nella ricerca di un nuovo equilibrio ci appare più che mai netta una non trascurabile evidenza: gli uomini e le donne vengono da pianeti diversi.

Fino a ieri vostro figlio era un bambino angelico, e ora di colpo è pronto a darvi battaglia su tutto, pensa solo a divertirsi e vive di emozioni intense e improvvise, come sulle montagne russe. Lo tsunami che vi sta travolgendo si chiama preadolescenza, e sappiate fin da subito che non c'è cura; ma un segreto per sopravvivere, sì: capire cosa sta succedendo in un cervello in piena evoluzione, che funziona in modo diverso rispetto a quello di un adulto.

Arriva per tutti, prima o poi, il momento tanto atteso del primo bacio. A volte capita per desiderio, altre per gioco, altre ancora per caso; altre volte, invece, è frutto di una ricerca disperata. A prescindere dall’esperienza individuale, si tratta di un istante fondamentale per tutti, di uno spartiacque che segna sempre un prima e un dopo... Nella società in cui viviamo, il sesso si configura da un lato come un'esperienza sempre più precoce; dall’altro, invece, risulta essere una dimensione problematica, che spaventa i giovani e li porta a isolarsi.
