I grew up surrounded by education. I’m the daughter of an early childhood educator and the niece of teachers. From a very young age, I knew I wanted to work with children — and that’s exactly what I did for over 15 years. I worked in nurseries and kindergartens, across different contexts and countries, always with one central concern: to ensure a solid, respectful, and coherent start in life. Then I became a mum. And something changed. My priorities shifted, but my concerns remained: how can we ensure that each child has exactly what they need? Today, my context is no longer just the institution. It is the families’ home. I continue to look for ways to ensure that babies and young children grow up in environments that foster autonomy, emotional security, and genuine development. And that is why I created this workshop and this project. Because I believe that informed and confident mothers make simpler decisions that are more aligned with what research shows: a child’s brain does not develop through an excess of stimulation, but through secure relationships, time, repetition, and meaningful experiences. Play, both free and intentionally supported, is one of the most complete ways to learn, grow, and develop autonomy.
