The importance of embracing your child’s uniqueness My greatest contribution to the wellness of humanity is having produced a psychologist: my son. It was one of the greatest contributions to my personal wellness too. As every mother might confirm, having children is a game-changer in women’s life. To me, it meant that I had done […]

Some writing non-tips and the novelists’ legacy Once again, the best writing tip is… ‘follow no tips’! When I was a young and enthusiastic girl in high school, all of my teachers suggested that, in order to write the perfect essay, I had to follow a scheme. The scheme was a cascade of points, that should guide […]

The intriguing parallels between royal sibling relationships and everyday family dynamics When I picked up Prince Harry’s memoir, Spare, this summer, I had a revelation: if we aren’t the firstborn in our family, we are all spare children in some ways. This isn’t a complaint, but rather an observation that sparked my curiosity. I hesitated to […]

Guardiamo tutti dalla stessa prospettiva? Ai bombardamenti in Ucraina sono preceduti (e poi seguiti) quelli mediatici, con l’immediata polarizzazione sui due fronti: “Putin ha le sue ragioni” e “Gli Ucraini sono martirizzati da un folle”.
