Pre-adolescent children: tsunami incoming. And the adults?
Conversation with Alberto Pellai
Psychotherapist
Tuesday, December 10th at 6:15 PM (followed by aperitif)
Dazio Art Cafè Piazza XXIV Maggio 2, Milan
The meeting is moderated by the journalist Elena Giordano
When, in the family, children reach around 12-13 years old, the calm sea begins to stir and a real tsunami looms on the horizon. Pre-adolescence is coming, a "middle phase in a middle land" where kids are searching for their own definition and identity, while adults try to provide support and guidance.
How do you manage the arrival of this tsunami?
And the adults? Is everything really fine for them?
Between preadolescence, social media, the desire to be understood, the struggles of daily life, how to make peace with oneself and one's own history, in order to live the present and future to the fullest?
If we are "We are relationship", always and in any case, among equals, with young people, at home and at work, then it is good... to relate effectively.
Alberto Pellai, a medical doctor and psychotherapist specializing in childhood development, author of numerous bestsellers for parents, educators, and young people, will respond to these stimuli on Tuesday, December 10th, during the T-ESSERE event organized by Women&Tech, the Women and Technology Association.
The event, entitled "Pre-adolescent children: incoming tsunami. And the adults?", will take place starting at 6:15 PM, at the Dazio Art Cafè in Milan (Piazza XXIV Maggio) and will be moderated by journalist Elena Giordano.
During the evening, Alberto Pellai will talk about the world of adolescents and also that of adults and parents, drawing inspiration from the contents of his numerous volumes (written with Barbara Tamborini) dedicated to the theme, including "The Compass of Emotions. From anger to happiness, emotions told to children", the brand new "A Song For You 50 timeless songs to overcome life's challenges" (released in October by De Agostini), and "The Age of the Tsunami - How to survive a pre-adolescent child" which gives title to the event.
"This appointment of T-BEING - comments the Founder of Women&Tech, Gianna Martinengo - aims to connect two generations and two different worlds. Adults and children, parents and children are not opposing contenders, but protagonists of a sometimes heated dialogue, which needs support and should never be interrupted. Dr. Pellai, who with his books helps people understand the emotions they are experiencing, will give us new perspectives for mutual confrontation and listening".
"The invitation to participate in this evening - states Olga Iarussi, President of Women&Tech - is aimed at adults and parents: we promise an interesting, lively, and stimulating evening. An evening in which to challenge oneself, in the active and proactive perspective that characterizes all the events of the Association."
Participation in the literary aperitif T-Essere "Pre-adolescent children: incoming tsunami" requires a contribution of 15 € per person and online registration.
