Ideas first written in January 2020 I’ve read in many books and blogs about how children are having a hard time with transitions. In case you are unfamiliar with the concept, baby transitions are those moments of changing the scenario: When it’s time to have breakfast, or to

Sometimes, I love being a professor; Other times, I’m not feeling that love. I’m hiding this change of feelings behind the idea that “it depends on the students”. Teaching is like a relationship This is my mantra “Teaching is like a relationship“. And as with any relationship it

Trigger: “Can’t wait until my hair will be longer again!” No, no, no … NOW it’s perfect! So, be here now! This moment right now is perfect. And no, you really don’t have to wait until the hair will be longer, or until you get the new haircut.
