STRUCTURE OF THE BOOK

The volume is divided into 50 chapters, each one responding to a question dedicated to the challenges that mothers and fathers face (sooner or later).  There are 50 topics, introduced by an equal number of illustrations and framed with the help of the classics of philosophy.

Manage conflicts with philosophy
The topics dealt with in this book regard problems, conflicts and topics that are most often part of family life, for example:

• Is it more difficult to grow up, or help someone grow up?
• Where does self-awareness come from?
• Can play be a serious thing?
• What are fairy tales for?
• Does learning occur through imitation?
• What happens when one becomes part of a group?
• How can one speak about emotions?
• Why do children (and not only) like to pretend?
• Is it possible to listen with your eyes?
• Is there such a thing as items for girls and items for boys?
