I am a motherhood writer who shares her experiences, reflections and advice on how to raise children with respect, empathy and love. My passion for education led me to first study Early Childhood Education and then a degree in Pedagogy, where I learned the theoretical and practical foundations of teaching and learning. But my curiosity (to unsuspected limits) led me to investigate on my own on topics related to emotional education, positive discipline and respectful parenting, which I consider essential for the comprehensive development of boys and girls. Thus, I discovered new ways of understanding and accompanying my children, based on dialogue, understanding and trust. And I decided to share my findings, doubts and experiences with other mothers and fathers who are looking for a more conscious and humane way of educating.
