Hello friend!
We are not raising children,
we are raising adults.
I want to show you an alternative way of raising kids, so that everyone's potential – parents’ and children’s – can shine. Because alone, I can’t change education, but together we can.

Mums, dads & kids
We don't know how to be parents, we learn it everyday as we go. This is my way of motherhood, the small victories and the bitter defeats, my inconvenient truths and the endless life lessons. And also all the baby products and toys we love the most.

Multilingualism
Languages are a great passion of mine. We are raising Oliver and Emily with four languages: Italian, English, Finnish and Spanish. This is our (their) journey in multilingualism.

Montessori
One day a few years ago my husband came home and said, "Why don't we put a mattress on the floor in the baby room? It'd be much more natural". "Never" was my reply. That's how our Montessori journey started. Since then we've been living, breathing and applying the philosophy at home day in and day out, starting from ourselves. Because educating children starts from the parents.

Living sustainably
Living sustainably for me doesn’t only mean to have a more eco-friendly lifestyle. It means to make decisions that are sustainable for our planet, the people on it, but also for our life, our lifestyle, and our happiness. It means to take any daily chance to evolve and be happier, healthier, kinder, more responsible and more caring human beings—the only sustainable way for a meaningful future.

95. Mio figlio ha picchiato per la prima volta
In questo episodio di Educare con calma rispondo a una domanda di una mamma che nella chat privata del mio corso Educare a lungo termine mi ha raccontato un episodio che l'ha scioccata e al quale sul momento non sente di aver reagito al meglio delle sue capacità. Per approfondire i comportamenti scomodi dei bambini e le ragioni per cui avvengono vi invito a fare riferimento al mio corso Educare a lungo termine.

94. Ragnatela in 5': come dico a mia figlia che sua zia è lesbica?
In questa edizione speciale di Educare con Calma (perché esce di martedì e non venerdì, frutto di un'ispirazione notturna causa insonnia) voglio parlarvi di una tematica che mi sta molto a cuore, ovvero la diversità di genere e l'educazione sessuale, e lo faccio nella giornata internazionale contro l'omofobia, la bifobia e la transfobia.
Rispondo a questo genitore che mi chiede come spiegare alla figlia che la zia è omosessuale e faccio alcune riflessioni sulla circolare che il ministero dell...

93. Bambini e animali: insegniamo a rispettare il limite | con Chiara Grasso
In questo episodio di Educare con calma parliamo di un tema a me caro: il rapporto dei bambini con gli animali selvatici e con la natura. Ho invitato Chiara Grasso, etologa, ricercatrice, divulgatrice scientifica e presidente dell'associazione Eticoscienza, ma soprattutto un'anima sensibile che dedica la sua vita a sensibilizzare le persone all'importanza di pensare al nostro rapporto di essere umano con la natura.
:: Frasi di Chiara che ho adorato:

Books
In 2020 I wrote 4 books for the Italian collection “Gioca and Impara con il metodo Montessori” curated by Grazia Honegger Fresco. The collection is a project by Il Corriere della Sera and La Gazzetta dello Sport.
We also implemented the workshops of the last 15 volumes of the collection with Oliver and Emily.
I update Instagram almost every day to be "close" to my family far away.
Why La Tela di Carlotta?
I dreamed of the name La Tela di Carlotta. One morning I woke up and in my dreams I had created a blog named just like the American novel (Charlotte's Web). Many years and endless ups and downs later, this web of thoughts and stories is my work. It took me a long time to understand what kind of online presence I wanted and today I know: I'm transparent, I show real life, I don't advertise, I only recommend sustainable brands (and not only because they pay me) and I believe in the value of my blog and my courses—because if we don't believe in the value of our work, no one will believe in it for us.
