❌ You didn't flush the toilet!
❌ You didn't wash your hands!
❌ You didn't turn off the light!
❌ You didn't close the door!
Imagine if someone corrected you as much as you correct your children… would you like it? Our children like to be corrected as much as we do. 😉

Instead, try this:
Your child leaves the bathroom without flushing the toilet:
✅ Did you forget something?
We give them the opportunity to learn to pay attention. They arrive at the "solution" by themselves. It feels more like a game. We don't make them feel wrong all the time.
To change education, we need to change our language.

– Fondatrice de La Tela
Sono la fondatrice de La Tela, creatrice del podcast Educare con calma e dal 2019 viaggio a tempo pieno con la mia famiglia Alex, Oliver ed Emily. Mi ritengo una visionaria pessimista: so come voglio cambiare l’educazione e che genitore ho scelto di essere, ma la maggior parte dei giorni mi sembra di scalare pareti di vetro. Ma forse proprio per questo so come aiutarti quando mi scrivi: perché ci passo anche io per quel disagio e ti dico le verità scomode con gentilezza e senza giudizio.
