La guida gentile non è essere sempre perfetti e nemmeno essere sempre accondiscendenti: è porsi ai nostri bambini con onestà e rispetto della loro integrità, è scegliere di saper essere piuttosto che di saper fare, di avventurarsi nel mare tempestoso delle emozioni e attraversarlo, insieme a loro, con empatia, e usare queste emozioni come guida per comprendere e conciliare i bisogni di tutti.
