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.

I recently realise that there’s a lot of confusion around sharing toys. Forcing to share toys does not teach kids generosity, but rather to be protective of their own things. From an early age, we ...

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.

79. I capricci non sono capricci!
In occasione del lancio della mia nuova guida online per genitori + libro stampabile per bambini "È il tuo coccodrillo. Verità bomba sui capricci e come affrontarli con calma", ho deciso di dedicare l'episodio di oggi ai capricci. Vi spiego perché il termine capricci è sbagliato, e vi racconto con esempi pratici e riflessioni oneste perché dovremmo cambiare la mentalità sui capricci.
Se ti piace questo episodio, se le mie parole toccano qualche corda dentro di te, amerai la mia nuova guida su...

78. Riflessioni di fine/inizio anno (e di ogni giorno)
In questo episodio speciale di Educare con calma ho deciso di fare una cosa eccezionale: trasformare in podcast 5 mail che ho inviato negli ultimi 5 giorni dell'anno a coloro che sono iscritti alla mia newsletter. Sono mail di mie riflessioni personali che faccio spesso nelle mie giornate e che oggi invito te a fare con me.
La riflessione è uno degli strumenti più efficaci dell'evoluzione personale e per questo vorrei che provassi a usare le riflessioni in questo episodio in maniera positiva ...

77. Ragnatela in 5': direzione felicità
Veri e propri pensieri a ragnatela che sapevo dove iniziavano, ma non dove sarebbero finiti. La mia ragnatela di pensieri ha spesso molto più senso nella mia mente durante le mie camminate mattutine che quando mi siedo davanti al microfono, ma ormai mi conoscete: buona la prima! Riascoltandolo ci sono alcune cose che avrei detto diversamente (per esempio, specificare che parlo del pezzettino di mondo privilegiato in cui viviamo). Ma questo concetto mi è piaciuto nella mia mente e spero abbiat...

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.
