Even when age advances and wrinkles multiply, love remains, indeed it increases. It shows itself in the help given by children and grandchildren and in a thank you, perhaps feeble, from grandparents

QThis is what I am: a pencil of God.
A fragile pencil with which he writes what he wants. God writes through us.
However imperfect we are as instruments, he writes what he wishes. (Mother Teresa of Calcutta).
The technological development of the last thirty years has changed life. Acceleration has appeared in all things and time has become increasingly insufficient. The contemporary world is enveloped in an unstoppable frenzy, which drags everything and everyone into an infinite vortex. And above all in this race there is no more time for fragility, for those who are getting older, for those who are no longer efficient... And yet that is precisely the secret of living. Because fragility is constitutive of every person, fragility perhaps teaches us more than all the discoveries put together, because it calls us back to the human, to the essence of life; fragility reminds us that love is the only reality that gives meaning even to what seems useless and without value.

2/* The adolescent formulates his first personal ideas and desires, opposing himself to adults. These must understand his reactions, but keep the rules firm.
by Ezio Aceti
AIn this article we will delve into the thinking of adolescents, their intellectual dimension that represents an inexhaustible source to fuel their behaviors, sometimes very idealistic, other times very transgressive and problematic. We have already spoken in previous articles of a scholar of intelligence, Jean Piaget (1896-1980), who had the great merit of supporting his studies with more than two thousand experiments and therefore formulated statements that, as far as intellectual development is concerned, are mostly confirmed by reality.

The tiring but happy experience of parents of a child with disabilities asks to be shared in communities. Always remembering that each person has a wealth to offer

Premittance
AHaving a child is a common experience for many couples and is usually positive and full of tenderness; it also involves effort, but leaves a deep joy, as for a goal that the new parents have reached. In fact, the love of the couple slowly matures and is enriched in parental love.
But having a “special” child with a disability is different. It is a unique, full, profound experience, but also full of tension, anxiety and often great discouragement. It leads to the understanding that life is hard, tiring, but can still be happy. In fact, maternal and paternal love is put to the test when the child is affected by any disabling pathology, since the prospect of the future is perceived as uncertain and full of tension. Let us then try to take a look at the experiences of these parents, as far as it is possible to glimpse the paths to be implemented.
