To Michele, my father, and to Vera, my mother (both in another dimension now) goes all my Love and everlasting gratitude for helping me to become a man.

What is the problem with cuddling and kissing a child? Is it difficult to smile and tell him/her “I love you”? To play with him/her and to listen when in need to talk? Of course nothing… and still, most parents do not do either, and then complain about how hard and messy is to be a parent.
This book wants to be an invitation to look at the parent-child bond from a different, and far simpler, angle. It tells us how to get rid of the conditioning we all have been imposed and thus how to avoid imposing them on our children. And leads and helps to understand that life may be enjoyed and be satisfying, if lived together with them lovingly and simply.

Errors in life are commonplace: we make them in our relationships with our partner, our children, with others in our workplace. But this does not mean we must feel bad persons or failures: the key is to repent, apologize and change, without dwelling on ourselves. However, if at a certain age our children want to have nothing to do with us, and push us away, the feeling of failure takes quite a different and tragic meaning, telling us that we have been incapable of transfer to them our love.
Even so, there is always a way to make up for our past: it is never too late for learning to love.
