This column is a meeting “place” for parents: we’ll talk about children and their world, we’ll discuss many subjects relating to parenting and childhood, and there will be room to raise any doubts and ask questions. A place where mums and dads can finally share the wonder of being parents, but also admit to their struggles and daily anxieties.
“You didn't have a choice about the parents you inherited, but you do have a choice about the kind of parent you will be” (Marian Wright Edelman).
