anno il 60% dei bambini ha fatto almeno una vacanza.<o:p></o:p></div>

Per i piccoli protagonisti gli espositori hanno predisposto numerose
attività di intrattenimento per far sperimentare ai bambini un “assaggio” delle
vacanze pensate appositamente per loro attraverso <b>laboratori creativi</b>,

La manifestazione è, quindi, il posto ideale per informarsi e
pianificare la formula vacanza migliore: divertente ed educativa per i bimbi,
rilassante per mamma e papà. La fiera ospita, infatti, località e strutture
ricettive provenienti da tutta Italia che al tema bambino, alla sua sensibilità
e alle sue esigenze, riservano progetti specifici.<o:p></o:p></div>

Anche nella dodicesima edizione si confermano tante aree dedicate<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>per
proporre al pubblico un’offerta turistica a 360 gradi: itinerari
escursionistici e cicloturistici, fattorie didattiche e agriturismi, camp
sportivi e parchi avventura, fino al settore food.<o:p></o:p></div>

Un’occasione per entrare in contatto con buyers selezionati (tour
operator, tour organizer, agenti di viaggio, federazioni sportive, associazioni
culturali e istituti scolastici) interessati a proposte di vacanza per famiglie
e per bambini/ragazzi da coinvolgere in camp sportivi, corsi di lingua e altri
soggiorni pensati per loro.<o:p></o:p></div>

same company in California. We took a few trips a year, mostly to Europe, once
to Asia. We later bought and remodeled a house and when it was ready to sell we
used to proceeds to buy a boat and travel by sea. We left from Florida and
spent 3.5 years "cruising" (island hopping the Caribbean and along
the coast of South America and then crossed the Pacific to New Zealand) where
we sold the boat and returned to CA to work again and start a family. We were

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We traveled to Europe a few times with
our girls before moving here. Once when our first was 6 months we visited
friends in Germany. Then when they were 3 and 1, we visited Germany and
Croatia. Then when 2, 4, and pregnant with the 3rd we visited Costa Rica and
Nicaragua. Then when the 3rd was born we moved to Prague, Czech Republic.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Italy, England, Ireland, Spain, France, Morocco, Romania, and Bulgaria. We had

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We follow an eclectic
homeschooling/worldschooling approach. It has evolved into a hybrid approach,
where we travel and learn from where we are, intermittently use various
curriculum for math and reading, and enroll the kids in as many classes,
activities, and school when it suits us. We believe learning should be
proactive and child led, but constantly open to inspiration and on the lookout
for mentors or learning opportunities. In Prague, the girls took art, drama,
reading class; in England they attended traditional school for a short time; in
Romania they attended art camp, ballet, and art classes; in Spain they took
tennis, ballet, craft class, art, an unschool "free" school" and
currently we have one daughter in public school, they other has a Spanish tutor,
art, and swim class. Our approach changes a bit as we move and they grow,
trying to find what suits their learning style and interests. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We met many families that were traveling
with their kids by boat and found the kids to be so great to be around,
outgoing, active, and closely bonded with their parents. Jeff had traveled by
boat with his family as a kid and remembered it as one of the best times of his
childhood and loved homeschooling. The more I traveled, the more I realized how
much there was to learn from the world and how important it was to see other
ways of life, question the status quo, and gain different perspectives. We want
the kids to feel that all ways of life are valid and interesting. I want them
to understand that there is no "normal" just different. I want them
to be free thinking individuals with many experiences to draw from and free
learn their interests and passions. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I
think thus far, since they have been young in our travels and I realize that
there is a lot that they won't remember into their adult lives as far as the
where and when, there have been many intangible benefits of travel. They are
getting the sense that the adventures in stories are real, based on real places
and people. They are growing up knowing that anything is possible, that if they
have an interest, that we just have to figure out a way to make it happen,
wherever that may be. They have become very adaptable, getting used to
adjusting to learning and interacting with multiple languages around them. I
feel travel greatly enhances the interests of a person. We can start reading
something and more and more often, it relates to somewhere we have been or
something we have experienced. I think it opens the doors to learning just
knowing that places are real, not just on a map. Our oldest seems to be
inspired by our travel life with aspirations to keep travelling and learning
about food so she can one day have her own restaurant that will change the
world. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">We base most of our travel experiences
on what might interest the kids and there are so many opportunities everywhere
for this. Festivals, workshops, classes, nature experiences... We recently had
a "family meeting" to try to assess what the kids wanted to do in
they next year because sometimes we question it all and wonder if they would
rather go back to a "normal" life. Our oldest wants to go to Turkey,
which we have been discussing because she found out there is a Hello Kitty cafe
and because Jeff has talked about it having some of the best food in the world.
Our other daughter is currently in a princess phase, so we will try to make
that a focus of travel experiences. Next month in Ireland, we will attend a
royal feast at a castle and I think she will love it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I will admit this is one of the
challenges to a travel lifestyle. They made some friends in Prague through
classes and finding other homeschoolers. The nomadic year we made friends with
people we stayed with and another traveling family we spent time with in Italy
and Croatia. They made some friends at school in England and some here in
Spain. Sometimes I wonder if its enough, but they do have each other and are
very close. I think its a skill that takes practice, making new friends
frequently... I know I have become much better at making new friends through travel
and I think they are starting to become more comfortable with it as they get
older. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

pencil, books relating to where we are/nature guides, activity books, which
could be considered curriculum, but to them they are fun because I don't make
them do them. Maybe encourage, but when its not enforced, they do more than
enough, when they want to. I have recently become accustomed to bringing a tablet,
which holds a huge collection of ebooks, a few movies and games. Then of
course, snacks, drinks, extra pants. Sometimes I feel I am forever packing
snacks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

otherwise, since they were so young when we left and relationships change in
any circumstance. Though, I think it has brought us closer.We have weathered
ups and downs and learned to cope with different places together. Its work, but
I think it is getting easier, and will pay off as time goes on. I think we have
so many ways to relate as we can reflect on the past and talk about experiences

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The best and worst is so much time together. I
wouldn't change it, but there are times when 24/7 together, husband working
from home and kids underfoot all the time is hard. We have become more
comfortable finding babysitters in various places because sometimes we need a
break for our sanity. Also the best and worst is constantly re-evaluating what
to do and where to go next. Even though we now travel with a home base, we are
always thinking about the next trip and decisions for the next year. There is
no status quo to rely on so sometimes the decisions are tiring. Trying to tune
in with each person's needs and decide what is best is hard, but its also the
best part of this life because we have the freedom to adjust and change as
needed. There are higher highs and lower lows when you travel as a family. Days
when everything is so perfect and amazing that you feel so grateful and then
those when you are just so tired, you wonder why you do it. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

California to finally see family. Then we will return to Spain and find another
home base. After that, its hard to say exactly... every year we seem to regroup
and make decisions. However, if we had to say, and knew that Jeff would
continue to have employment that allows for this nomadic life; we would spend
the next year in Spain continuing to work on mastering Spanish and travel from
here every few months. We want to visit Turkey, Greece, and Croatia again,
maybe Egypt. We are hoping to continue a slow travel lifestyle and save money
to buy a boat again to sail the Mediterranean and Pacific with the kids when

<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I think the best advice is just go,
expect some days to be hard, but know there will wonderful experiences to come
out of it. Not worry about bringing too much. I started out packing much more
than was necessary and travelling light makes it much easier. There are always
ways to adapt and get what you need where you are. We also find staying in 2 or
3 bedroom houses/apartments is the only way we can make it work. Jeff has to
work wherever we are, so he needs his space, the kids need some space and we
need a kitchen. Staying in a hotel or hostel is fine for a night or two here
and there, but we need to be able to relax and feel at home where we travel.</span></div>

extremely educational. But more than research studies, you can see it in
yourself and your kids. The world isn't an unknown - you have tasted the food,
walking the roads and beaches, breathed in the air, learned about cultures
firsthand.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #141823;">Be patient, flexible, and
kind. Know that difference is sometimes scary. Be excited about new places
before you go - teach your kids where they will be going! Play with google
maps, find a coffeeshop with great hot chocolate and make a plan to go there
your first day. Give your kids a camera and see the world from their eyes. Have
plenty of food on hand and planned - hungry people are not at their best.
Involve them in planning, so that they know the trip is for them, and that
their viewpoints are important.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">Anche se i sistemi GPS rendono tutto
più facile, Maia potrà imparare preziose competenze sulla
geografia, l’orientamento e la lettura delle mappe, inoltre potrà tenere
traccia dei progressi di viaggio.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fare una sorpresa a Maia portandola a Carsland al Disney California Adventure
Park, tornando verso Los Angeles da San Diego; dopo la bella esperienza di
Disney World a Orlando e amando molto il film di Cars, ne sarebbe stata
felicissima, inoltre la visita al parco sarebbe alla fine di un circle tour di 2.000
miglia di american route, come degna conclusione di un’altra grande avventura. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

simpatici diversivi accompagnano le vetture alla linea di partenza. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Negli ultimi anni la meta preferita per i nostri “on the

alcune attrazioni europee che non potevamo ulteriormente ignorare; così un
giorno d’estate abbiamo caricato l’auto con tenda e fornellino e abbiamo
percorso più di 3.500 km di strade europee. <o:p></o:p></div>

paesane in costume con fiumi di birra e <span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">pretzels</span> e imponenti castelli straripanti di
storia. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Come colonna sonora “Sul bel Danubio blu” di Johann Strauss.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Tutto ciò l’abbiamo potuto ritrovare in Baviera, il più
grande e antico stato federale tedesco, con i suoi edifici storici e i paesaggi
mozzafiato, la cordialità della gente di campagna e l’ottima accoglienza delle
grandi città, è una meta ideale per le famiglie. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Per raggiungere il castello di Neuschwanstein abbiamo
percorso, parte della Romantische Straße, che ci ha accompagnato alla scoperta
di alcuni dei paesaggi più affascinanti e ricchi di storia della Baviera.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I tre magnifici castelli di Ludwig II di Baviera ne marcano
la fine ai piedi delle Alpi, in una cornice naturale di grande bellezza. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Neuschwanstein è il castello più famoso, ogni anno attira un milione di
visitatori da tutto il mondo, ma credo sia anche il più impegnativo da visitare
con dei bambini molto piccoli.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
E’ possibile che ci sia la fila per acquistare i biglietti, bisogna
valutare come raggiungere il castello dal parcheggio e il tour è abbastanza lungo
(circa 30 minuti).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
Inoltre durante la visita ci sono molte scale strette e tortuose e non
è possibile portare carrozzine, passeggini, zainetti portabimbi e zaini voluminosi.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
In alternativa si potrebbe preferire la visita a Linderhof o a Herrenchiemsee
che, essendo più piccoli, offrono tempi di percorrenza minori e ampi giardini
con grandi fontane che potrebbero essere di maggior interesse per i più piccini.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: justify;">Nel nostro caso Neuschwanstein è stato una tappa obbligata!!</span></div>

informazioni sulla storia di Ludovico II di Baviera, l’eccentrico re che
commissionò la costruzione di queste imponenti strutture architettoniche, dando
forma alle sue passioni storiche, artistiche e musicali. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
La storia di questo re sognatore è avvolta da molti misteri,
intrighi di potere e un tragico epilogo, ma abbiamo cercato di non perdere il
gusto romantico che questi luoghi sanno esaltare…anche se la fantasia ci ha
portato a creare molte storie dal gusto fantasy e disneyano. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Percorriamo chilometri di strade tortuose tra splendide
montagne e laghi dai colori intensi, immersi nella tranquillità dei paesaggi
bavaresi.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Neuschwanstein è arroccato su una collina circondata da fitti
boschi, dopo aver parcheggiato l’auto, ci siamo incamminati a piedi lungo la
strada che conduce al castello, superati dai bus navetta e da carrozze piene di
turisti trainate da grossi e stanchi cavalli.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Durante la passeggiata è possibile scorgere alcune belle
vedute della Hohenschwangau, del lago Alpsee e delle Alpi bavaresi, non c'è da
meravigliarsi che i reali abbiano scelto questa zona per costruire i loro
castelli.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dal parcheggio alle nostre spalle si erge imponente il castello
di Hohenschwangau che è accessibile dal villaggio sottostante; esso era la residenza
estiva della famiglia reale bavarese, dove re Ludwig II trascorse molte estati. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Una volta arrivati ai piedi del castello ci siamo resi conto
della sua imponenza e del magnifico panorama sulla valle e i boschi
circostanti.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Da vicino si ha modo di osservare i tanti particolari
dell’architettura: balconate, pinnacoli, sculture e torri che sono in completa
sintonia con il paesaggio circostante.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Siamo giunti sino al Marienbrücke, un ponte in ferro costruito
sopra la gola del fiume Pöllat dal padre di Ludwing per sua madre; uno dei
punti migliori per poter fotografare il castello in tutta la sua bellezza.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Il gran numero di turisti è stato l’unico limite della
nostra visita al castello, quindi mi piacerebbe ritornare in un periodo meno
affollato, ma soprattutto mi piacerebbe vederlo con la neve.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Siamo contenti di aver finalmente esaudito il desiderio
della nostra piccola esploratrice.<o:p></o:p></div>

We would anxiously wait for our two
weeks of vacation each year so we could go out and live the life we dreamed of.
Unfortunately when you only have two weeks in a location you end up spending so
much more on hotels (now we use<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://airbnb.com/" target="_blank"><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #1155cc; font-size: 10pt;">airbnb.com</span></a><span lang="EN-US" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">) and flight than if you went for longer. When we vacationed it was
always a mass rush to see how much we could check off our list because we did
not know if we would ever be back again. I always came home exhausted and
feeling like I needed a vacation. We had guests recently that commented on how
little we knew about Costa Rica in our four months here. I was happy to
announce that we are now what one calls “slow travelers,” we live, work and
travel, but we do it all in a longer period of time. I much prefer out new
travel style where we get to spend more time getting to know the locals and the
culture.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

not start traveling with them until they were six and nine. I should probably

twice. Vacationing for us is to spend a couple of weeks in a place where we see
the sights and head home exhausted. Traveling is when we spend an extended
period of time (more than three weeks) in an area and we make it a point to
interact with the locals and learn about the culture all while taking it slow.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

the beginning of our travel life even though we came back home for 12 months
after that trip. Upon our return we spent the next 12 months trying to figure
out how we could do this for a longer period of time. Last summer we spent a
month in India, returned home for a month and then moved to Costa Rica. We have
currently been living in CR for four months and our plan is to stay at least one
year. I honestly don’t know how many countries I (we) have visited in our
lifetime. It’s a lot, but I don’t have a desire to keep track.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Avalon and Largo learn
something new every single day. A lot of their learning in the US was isolated
within a classroom setting because everything outside the school was very
familiar to them. Nothing in Costa Rica is familiar; therefore each day
presents a new set of challenges, obstacles, enlightenment and learning. The
traveling lifestyle has made them more aware of the differences among
countries, people and cultures, plus it has allowed them to think more globally.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Costa Rica because most of this was done after work and late at night. But, we
plan to let them each pick a country on their dream list as we continue to

travel. This means that we stay in a location for at least a year in order to
get more of a cultural experience and meet locals. Our son is in a brick and mortar
school and he has made friends with local Costa Rican children. Our daughter is
world schooled and her friends come from different classes she takes within the
community, siblings of her bothers friends and other traveling families that
pass though Costa Rica. Largo has also made friends at classes he has taken
outside of his school in the community.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Rica for one year with a possible one-year extension. We have decided after
four months that we want to extend to a second year of travel, but we will
change locations. The location is not determined at this time. It has always
been a dream of ours to change countries every one to two years until our
youngest (age seven) goes to college. How cool would that be? Right now we are
just trying to make year one and two work, adjust to our location independent
careers and world school. Time will tell what the future holds. I guess you

Don’t worry about school, friends, extended family, etc.
They will be with their parents and that is the most important part. Travel
will only enrich their lives, even if they are young. Create memories instead
of buying stuff. Take them out of their bubble and let them become global
citizens. You will be surprised at the education they will get from travel. Oh,
and don’t bring all their stuff. Kids need less than we actually think.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #141823;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">My biggest tip is "Do
it". Anyone can travel. If you really want to do it, you will find a way.
It is the greatest time you will ever share with your child and they will grow
up so quickly. Try to get the time to travel. Even if it isn't full-time, try
to spend some weeks where the mobile telephone and computer and TV are no
longer the loudest noise or the busiest item in your family.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ora viaggiamo con il GPS sempre acceso e gli appunti che gli altri geocacher hanno lasciato per agevolare la ricerca delle tante "cache". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Per ogni "cache" infatti vi è una precisa descrizione dell'avventura che andrete ad intraprendere, considerando le caratteristiche del terreno, la difficoltà nel reperirla e le sue dimensioni. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ciò che mi affascina di questa grande caccia al tesoro è la responsabilizzazione del singolo, che trovando la "cache" dovrà avere il buon senso di seguire alcune semplici regole:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- se prendi qualcosa dalla "cache", lascia qualcosa in cambio;</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- non modificare la posizione della "cache"; </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- non lasciare oggetti pericolosi o di cattivo gusto; </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- prendere appunti relativi ad eventuali difficoltà o cambiamenti; </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- attenersi alle regole e alle linee guida riportate sul sito ufficiale <a href="http://www.geocaching.com/" style="text-indent: -18pt;">www.geocaching.com</a>.</span></div>

Da qualche tempo seguo il viaggio di una mamma australiana e
suo figlio, attraverso i racconti che pubblica sul suo sito <a href="http://exploramumourworldtrip.com/">http://exploramumourworldtrip.com/</a><o:p></o:p></div>

Ruth e suo figlio sono partiti dall’Australia nel 2012 e hanno
attraversato tanti continenti e vissuto molte culture differenti.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Per loro il mondo è diventato la scuola migliore, ricca di
esperienze e insegnamenti vissuti sulla propria pelle.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
La loro storia mi ha affascinato molto e seguo il loro lungo
percorso con entusiasmo, così quando ho letto che sarebbero venuti in Italia ho
pensato di invitarli a casa nostra per conoscerli e dopo qualche e-mail, abbiamo organizzato
l’incontro.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Maia ed io abbiamo preparato per loro una stanza e un bagno cercando

nostre cose con dei nuovi amici.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Al loro arrivo si è creata subito un’ottima sintonia che ci
ha permesso di superare i miei limiti linguistici; soprattutto i bambini hanno legato immediatamente, giocando indifferentemente in camera e in giardino, per poi riposarsi davanti ad un film d’animazione.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Nel frattempo Ruth ed io abbiamo parlato a lungo di educazione e viaggi,
trovandoci in perfetta sintonia<span style="background-color: white;">.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Verso l’ora di cena è tornato anche Simone, mio marito, che ha
intrattenuto gli ospiti creando un’atmosfera molto famigliare discutendo degli argomenti più variegati, dalla cucina locale alle "strane" varianti dell'australian-english e molto altro.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Cercando di fornire qualche informazione sulla nostra città, siamo usciti per
andare a prendere un gelato tra le vie del centro storico. E' sempre interessante vedere come cittadini del "nuovo mondo" percepiscano e siano attratti dalle antichità. Non parliamo necessariamente di chiese o palazzi. E' sufficiente un ciottolato per stimolare domande e curiosità.<o:p></o:p></div>

La passeggiata in centro è stata quindi molto rilassante e i bimbi
si sono divertiti molto nella fontana illuminata, questa certamente non antica, nella piazza del teatro.<o:p></o:p></div>

Qualche anno fa a Reggio Emilia, nella nostra provincia, è stato realizzato un
percorso naturalistico di circa 3 km che segue il corso del torrente Rodano.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maia ed io lo abbiamo percorso partecipando, con la nonna e
il suo cagnone Ambra, a una passeggiata organizzata dal Doggy Planet, un gruppo
di amici con la passione per i cani che condivide varie uscite in mezzo alla
natura.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Organizzarsi per una gita con Maia è sempre molto
divertente, soprattutto preparare gli zaini.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Binocolo, k-way, acqua o succo di frutta, gallette di riso,
fazzoletti, un libro e un compagno di viaggio scelto tra i suoi peluche.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Di solito devo intervenire, perché non importa quanta strada
si debba percorrere, Maia sarà capace di riempire lo zaino con un’esagerata quantità
di libri e giochi, ma non posso lamentarmi perché ho il vago sospetto che abbia
ereditato da me la necessità di avere uno zaino ben equipaggiato sulle spalle. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Con la nonna, prima di partire, abbiamo controllato
l’occorrente per Ambra: collare, guinzaglio, la vaschetta per l’acqua e qualche
bocconcino.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tutti pronti!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ambra aveva capito sin dal primo mattino che si stava
organizzando una passeggiata da come si stava preparando mia madre e scodinzolava
euforica controllando la situazione.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Arrivati nel luogo dell’appuntamento, Maia si stupì nel
contare una decina di cani con i relativi padroni…proprio un bel gruppo!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
C’erano molte razze differenti e ogni cane aveva una personalità
abbastanza definita; Maia studiava le dinamiche che si venivano a creare nel gruppo
dei “pelosi” e a riguardo mi faceva molte domande.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Durante il percorso i cani ci hanno regalato tante corse
pazze, qualche fugace tafferuglio e molte coccole.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maia si è divertita molto a leggere i vari cartelli informativi
che sono stati collocati sul tracciato, dove sono illustrate e spiegate alcune
particolarità naturalistiche, la popolazione vegetale e animale del nostro
territorio.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
E’ stata una passeggiata semplice ma abbiamo scoperto un
altro angolino della nostra provincia e passeggiare con il nostro cagnone è
stato proprio gratificante e istruttivo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Penso che la cosa che abbia divertito di più Maia sia stato
scoprire che esiste una specie di codice comportamentale, più o meno esplicito,
quando si viaggia in gruppo con i nostri amici “pelosi”; per esempio nei tratti
di strada asfaltata, il primo o l’ultimo della fila, deve avvertire dell’arrivo
di eventuali macchine urlando “auto”.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maia quindi super attenta, era sempre la prima a scorgere le
auto in arrivo, per urlare a gran voce l’avvertimento.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Tornati alle proprie auto, eravamo tutti molto stanchi e
abbastanza carichi di fango, pronti per una bella doccia calda e un buon piatto
di pasta.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Quando si partecipa a un’uscita di gruppo con i cani, penso
vi siano delle regole di buon senso che determinano il passo e la disposizione
della fila.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Non sono un’educatrice cinofila, ma da quando avevo pochi
anni, ho avuto vari compagni "pelosi" e qualche cosa <u>spero</u> di averla
imparata.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Spero” perché credo che il solo fatto di avere un animale
non ci renda necessariamente persone attente e responsabili nel prenderci cura di loro e nel saperli gestire.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Dopo questa gita, Maia ed io abbiamo fatto molte riflessioni
riguardo l’avere un cane, ma sarà argomento per un altro post.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Alla prossima passeggiata!<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Viaggiare con la mia famiglia, come si evince da molti miei
post, è per me una grande passione.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Con “Mom with Backpack” ho la possibilità di confrontarmi
con tanti genitori provenienti da tutte le parti del mondo e che viaggiano in
tutto il mondo.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
E’ incredibile come a volte nascano legami tanto spontanei
con persone così lontane da noi!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ho iniziato a scrivere delle nostre esperienze in viaggio, e
non solo, per questi incontri e queste sintonie, perché è da esse che nascono molte
delle mie ispirazioni.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Penso che il viaggio sia una pratica molto sociale, fatta di
relazioni con i luoghi e le persone, per questo motivo ho cercato di superare
alcuni vincoli che mi ero posta sulla nostra privacy famigliare.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ho conosciuto famiglie che viaggiano nei week end sulle
montagne dietro casa, famiglie che volano in paesi lontani appena possono e
famiglie che hanno adottato il viaggio come stile di vita da molti anni…tutte
con la propria storia, tutte con qualcosa da condividere.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ci sono vari aspetti che accomunano tutte noi famiglie
viaggianti…è la ricerca di soluzioni che possano rendere piacevole il nostro
viaggio e quello dei nostri bambini.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Così per una casualità, come spesso succede, conobbi “In
Viaggio con Leo” e nacque la sinergia che mi spinse a reinventare la mia
posizione lavorativa.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Così, con il fondamentale supporto della mia famiglia, abbiamo
studiato e ristrutturato il sito.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Ed ecco la nostra nuova veste...</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Arriviamo all’ingresso del parco con la consapevolezza di
aver raggiunto una meta e la certezza di aver vissuto sulla pelle l’asfalto che
ci ha condotto fino a qui.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Entriamo nel parco con “Badlands” come sottofondo e le note

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Il paesaggio è una miscela di calanchi e praterie, che si

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Le Badlands sono formate da grandi forze geologiche.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La deposizione di sedimenti inizia 69 milioni di anni fa,
quando un antico mare si estendeva su quello che oggi è il Great Plains. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Il mare si è poi ritirato e gli ambienti terrestri
successivi, compresi i fiumi e le pianure alluvionali, hanno continuato a
depositare sedimenti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">L’erosione continua a scolpire le Badlands ancora oggi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

" LapBook" è stato coniato da Tammy Duby , una madre homeschooler e scrittrice dalla Virginia (USA).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I Lapbooks
sono un meraviglioso strumento educativo e non solo, una sorta di scrapbooking che
incontra l’homeschooling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Un lapbook è
generalmente una cartella di file che contiene una serie di "mini
libri" di diverso formato, pieghevoli, tasche e altro materiale che
sviluppa informazioni sul tema centrale scelto, dati, schemi, illustrazioni e
stampabili.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">È possibile
utilizzare una serie di materiali per creare il tuo lapbook come carta colorata,
cartoncino, carta a righe/quadretti, forbici, adesivi, matite, pennarelli,
colla, materiale naturale, ecc…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Che cosa
includere nel vostro lapbook è interamente scelta vostra.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Non esiste
un modo giusto o sbagliato di produrre un lapbook.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Ogni lapbook
è una creazione originale.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Il lapbooking
è un grande veicolo per insegnare sia contenuti che processi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Il processo
è quello che aiuterà i bambini attraverso la vita - ricerca, progettazione,
creatività , presentazione, valutazione.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Quali sono quindi
i vantaggi del lapbooking?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">È <u>economico</u>,
perché per crearli si possono utilizzare materiali di riciclo o comperarne di
poco costosi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">È <u>creativo</u>,
perché ogni lapbook è diverso a seconda di chi lo pensa e di chi lo realizza. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">È <u>plurale</u>,
perché si possono utilizzare molteplici risorse, libri di testo, biblioteche, internet,
esperienze personali, ecc… <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">È <u>facile</u>,
perché si può adattare alle proprie manualità ed esigenze, inoltre si possono
utilizzare dei modelli prestampati.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Oltre ai
vantaggi educativi, un lapbook è un vero tesoro.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">I nostri figli
riguarderanno frequentemente le loro creazioni e ci racconteranno del come e
del perché delle loro avventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Per produrre
un lapbook non necessariamente si deve essere un super creativo, penso che il
modo migliore per iniziare sia quello di scavare tra le tante fantastiche
risorse disponibili in rete e cogliere la giusta ispirazione.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 7.1pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 8pt;">Nuova edizione a <b>ModenaFiere</b> del <b>Salone delle vacanze 0-14</b>, che rappresenta oggi in Italia l’unica
occasione di incontro e confronto tra esperienze turistiche rivolte ai genitori
e alle famiglie, senza trascurare i ragazzi che viaggiano da soli, con la
scuola o l’associazione sportiva.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="margin-right: 7.1pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 7.1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">I genitori potranno incontrare direttamente <b>località
turistiche</b>,<b> villaggi, alberghi </b>e<b> strutture ricettive</b>, <b>parchi tematici,</b> <b>camp sportivi e centri per le vacanze studio</b>,<b> fattorie didattiche e percorsi naturalistici </b>che hanno dato vita a
servizi ad hoc per il target 0-14. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 5.95pt 0.0001pt 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">I piccoli viaggiatori possono
sperimentare dal vivo le varie proposte nelle <b>cinque aree dedicate</b> che propongono al pubblico un’offerta
turistica a 360 gradi: da quella interamente dedicata agli itinerari
escursionistici, alle fattorie didattiche e gli agriturismi, dai camp sportivi
ai parchi avventura, fino al settore food.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 5.95pt 0.0001pt 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 5.95pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Fare parte di
un equipaggio ed <b>imparare a condurre
un’imbarcazione,</b> accompagnati da skipper esperti che insegnano tutti i
segreti di un buon capitano. La vita tra le onde e le lezioni di vela, in un
contesto amichevole e divertente.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 5.95pt 0.0001pt 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Trascorrere una settimana come un <b>vero esploratore</b>, dormendo in una tenda sopraelevata o in una
tipica baita alpina, imparando a costruire con le proprie mani </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">e
il materiale che il bosco fornisce, tutto ciò di cui si ha bisogno, conoscere
le stelle, orientarsi con la bussola e il sole lungo i sentieri della montagna, comunicare con fischi, luci notturne e bandierine. E serate intorno al fuoco, tra canti, giochi e danze insieme a nuovi amici.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 7.1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Apprendere le
arti magiche nella <b>Scuola Estiva di Stregoneria </b>in una suggestiva</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">località
alpina in provincia di Cuneo. Tra pozioni e incantesimi, </span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">si impara a conoscere gli
animali, ad accudirli nel rispetto delle loro caratteristiche
e nel loro ambiente; si studia l’astronomia e le caratteristiche delle piante
del bosco, ma soprattutto si creano legami e amicizie.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Un’idea alternativa può poi
essere quella di una <b>ciclovacanza</b>:
una settimana lungo la ciclabile più famosa al mondo, quella che costeggia il
Danubio; l'incanto dei castelli della Loira e dei giardini francesi; in
picchiata tra vigne e meleti dell'Alto Adige da Passo Resia a Bolzano. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Per chi preferisce rimanere
in Italia un modo originale per scoprire le nostre città d’arte potrebbe essere
a bordo di una <b>houseboat</b>, che non
necessita di patente nautica: una crociera fluviale consente di conoscere Venezia,
Padova e Treviso da un altro punto di vista, fermandosi per un tour
giornaliero.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 5.95pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Inoltre
numerosissime proposte di vacanza in<b>
camp sportivi</b>. Si va dai camp ultra-attrezzati al mare, in montagna e
persino all’estero per perfezionarsi in sport classici come la pallavolo, il
tennis o il basket, ma anche in quelli più particolari come lo scherma e il
tiro con l’arco.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 5.95pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-language: IT;">Più tranquilla ma non meno emozionante la vacanza nelle <b>fattorie didattiche</b>, dove i bambini
toccano con mano tante cose nuove prima viste solo sui libri, giocano e si
divertono con originalità e creatività, imparando l'importanza della tradizione
e del contatto con la natura: qui si insegna loro a fare il pane e si
privilegiano le attività manuali come la raccolta della frutta.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Per chi vuole migliorare l</span><b style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 11px;">a lingua straniera</b><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 8pt;"> un soggiorno studio
all’estero è un’esperienza preziosa, che arricchisce il bagaglio culturale di
bambini e ragazzi.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 8pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right: 7.1pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 8.0pt;">Fra le
regioni italiane che hanno aderito alla manifestazione, non manca naturalmente
l’<b>Emilia</b> <b>Romagna</b>, con le sue Unioni di Prodotto e le catene di alberghi
specializzati nell’ospitalità a misura di bambino. C’è poi il <b>Trentino Alto Adige</b>, la cui consolidata
tradizione turistica ha da sempre un’attenzione particolare ai piccoli ospiti.
Anche<b> </b>la<b> Sicilia</b>,<b> </b>la <b>Basilicata</b>, la <b>Calabria</b>,<b> </b>la regione<b> Marche</b> e diversi consorzi APT
provenienti da <b>Friuli</b>, <b>Veneto</b> e <b>Toscana</b> saranno presenti con novità e varie proposte di vacanza
pensate per i bambini e le loro famiglie, come la Camera di Commercio di <b>Pesaro</b>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sul web ci sono moltissimi
blog e nei primi mesi di vita è veramente difficile trovare il proprio spazio e
la collaborazione tra blogger può risultare un’ottima soluzione sotto molti
punti di vista.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">A tale proposito vi

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Non
mi è stato possibile recuperare le fonti al principio di questa catena, ma intuisco che fosse stata creata e strutturata come vetrina per far conoscere e promuovere nuovi blog emergenti e <u>con questo spirito ho deciso di collaborare e partecipare</u>. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: windowtext;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Illustrated by Jo Moore, written
by Emily Bone and designed by Stella Baggot</span></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="MsoHyperlink">Il libro presenta 12 contesti culturali differenti nei
quali vi sono dei personaggi da vestire con i loro abiti tradizionali; p</span><span class="MsoHyperlink">ossiamo
trovare </span>il kimono del Giappone, il buba della Nigeria, gli abiti per il flamenco della Spagna e molti altri.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Il bambino impara così i nomi dei costumi e la loro
importanza culturale, inoltre è un modo divertente per introdurre lo studio di
varie discipline quali la storia, la geografia e le competenze di mappatura.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Nel libro è infatti inclusa una mappa che insegna la
posizione di ogni paese raccontato tra le pagine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">L'abbigliamento di ogni vignetta è dettagliato e molto colorato.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Gli adesivi potrebbero essere troppo delicati, soprattutto
per i bambini più piccoli, quindi potrebbe essere necessario un po' di aiuto.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">La qualità di questo prodotto è ottima, inoltre se si commette un errore nel posizionare gli adesivi si possono staccare facilmente senza danneggiarli.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">M ed io abbiamo trascorso un divertente pomeriggio tra le
pagine di questo volume e le tante informazioni recuperate nei libri di geografia
e di storia.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Abbiamo

In questi giorni ho trovato tra le tante pagine del web un altro sito che mi ha coinvolto molto:<br />
<a href="http://www.worldwidecultureswap.com/">http://www.worldwidecultureswap.com/</a>.<br />
<br />
The Worldwide Culture Swap è una libera iniziativa, un progetto volto a sensibilizzare i bambini verso la delicata tematica dell’intercultura.<br />
<br />
Educare all’intercultura significa promuovere la conoscenza e lo scambio tra persone di culture diverse e insegnare la comprensione e il rispetto tra di esse.<br />
E’ necessario fornire ai nostri figli una cultura che permetta di affrontare e contestualizzare temi di carattere interculturale per educarli alla comprensione e alla relazione tra colui che ci è vicino e colui che ci è lontano, promuovendo l’incontro e il confronto tra i bisogni, le idee e le emozioni di ognuno.<br />
Penso che queste tematiche siano un cardine fondamentale per la crescita culturale e personale di ogni bambino.<br />
<br />
Per accedere bisogna registrarsi, gratuitamente, nel sito.<br />
Una volta completata l’iscrizione sarete contattati e collocati in un gruppo con altre 5 famiglie provenienti da tutto il mondo con le quali creerete una sorta di ponte.<br />
L'obiettivo è di condividere, con ogni famiglia, le informazioni del paese in cui si vive in modo che si possa ottenere una descrizione generale della cultura del proprio paese.<br />
Ciò si realizza mediante l'invio di un pacchetto (rivolto al bambino o ai bambini) con gli oggetti che si sono scelti per creare una buona panoramica delle caratteristiche del nostro paese.<br />
<br />
"Bringing you the world, one package at a time", questo il motto del progetto.<br />
<br />
Penso che sia un'esperienza straordinaria per i bambini, essi saranno coinvolti nello scegliere gli oggetti che rappresentano la loro cultura e potranno scambiarli con quelli che un altro bambino in un luogo lontano del mondo ha appositamente scelto per lui.<br />
Noi stiamo aspettando di essere inseriti nel prossimo gruppo!<br />
<br />
Ecco alcuni esempi di ciò che potrebbe essere inviato:<br />
una lettera con le informazioni sui costumi locali, la geografia e il clima,<br />
una foto dal bambino che invia il pacco,<br />
una ricetta tradizionale locale,<br />
una cartolina o una foto del paese/città/monumenti famosi etc,<br />
informazioni su mestieri tradizionali,<br />
la bandiera nazionale o un simbolo, un piccolo oggetto o giocattolo pertinenti al nostro paese (magnete, portachiavi, souvenir, ecc).<br />
<br />

non prendere campioni dai parchi e dai giardini! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">E’
tra i primi botanici ad utilizzare il metodo di conservazione e catalogazione
delle piante degli erbari mediante essiccazione, ottenuti sottoponendo a forte
pressione i reperti tra fogli di carta. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Era
un medico e insegnante ben noto tra gli atenei di Bologna e Pisa, dove fonda
nel 1545 l’Orto dei Semplici, il primo orto botanico universitario del mondo. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Nello

primi orti botanici universitari del mondo, utilizzati come sussidio didattico
e per la ricerca.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">L’obiettivo
è di fare musica con i genitori insieme ai propri bambini, infatti
non si studia uno strumento in particolare o la teoria musicale.</span>
</span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">Principi:</span><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">1.
Tutti i bambini sono musicali.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">2.
Tutti i bambini possono raggiungere le competenze musicali di base,
come la capacità di memorizzare melodie e ritmi, riprodurli mediante
movimenti ritmicamente accurati e ottenere un canto intonato.</span><span style="color: black;">
</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">3.
L'esempio e la partecipazione dei genitori o di chi si cura del
bambino, a prescindere dalle loro capacità musicali, è essenziale
per la crescita della sua musicalità.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">4.
Questa crescita è favorita da un ambiente giocoso e stimolante. </span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">Il
programma coinvolge le famiglie fornendo un ricco ambiente musicale,
strumenti e competenze, che possono utilizzare nelle spontanee
attività musicali a casa e nel contesto di vita quotidiana.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Le
classi sono formate da 6-12 bambini (fino ai 5 anni di età)
accompagnati da uno o entrambi i genitori, o un adulto che si prende
cura di loro.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">La
formazione delle classi segue il principio secondo cui la
contemporanea presenza di bambini di varie età, promuove il proprio
naturale stile di apprendimento.</span><span style="color: #444444;"><br /></span><span style="color: black;">Ogni
bambino partecipa liberamente, esplorando la propria creatività,
secondo il proprio momento di sviluppo, cantando, muovendosi,
ascoltando, guardando ed esplorando gli strumenti musicali.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Alcune
canzoni sono cantate in inglese, con frasi semplici e ripetute, che
ne renderanno facile l’apprendimento. I bambini hanno la capacità
di riconoscere e memorizzare tutti i tipi di suoni indipendentemente
dalla lingua a cui appartengono. Crescendo questa capacità si riduce
drasticamente. Quindi, abituare l'orecchio del bambino al suono
dell'Inglese favorirà la sua capacità di apprendere altre lingue in
futuro.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">Le
canzoni sono accompagnate da attività di gioco e ballo libero,
dall'uso di oggetti sonori e non (campanelli, palle, maracas,
foulard, ecc) e da alcuni strumenti musicali.</span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="background: #ffffff; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">Ogni
semestre si riceve un CD con canzoni nuove e il suo corrispondente
libro illustrato. La musica include canzoni tradizionali, canzoni
originali e filastrocche ritmiche. Le canzoni comprendono varie
tonalità, tempi e stili culturali esponendo il bambino ad un ampia
diversità di elementi musicali.</span><span style="color: #990000;">

</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="color: black;">M
ha sempre avuto una notevole sensibilità riguardo alcune melodie, con
le quali nei primi anni non siamo andati molto d'accordo, quindi per
sciogliere questa sua difficoltà abbiamo deciso di provare con un
approccio ludico alla musica da condividere insieme. </span></span></span></span>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"L'istruzione
musicale formale non può insegnare a un bambino ad essere musicale o
a trovare gioia ed ispirazione nella musica. Una predisposizione
musicale, o la intrinseca inclinazione ad essere musicali per tutta
la vita, è il risultato di esperienze positive, felici e
soddisfacenti e alla loro associazione con la musica nella prima
infanzia.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border: none; line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0.42cm; padding: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">"Voi
siete di gran lunga il più importante modello per il vostro bambino.
Music Together si impegna a sostenere e facilitare i vostri tentativi
di creare un ambiente musicale ricco a casa vostra, incoraggiando
così il naturale processo di crescita musicale di vostro figlio e
assicurando la realizzazione del suo potenziale musicale innato."</span></span></span></div>

oggi M ricorda con entusiasmo le canzoni cantate e ballate insieme a
Luca (il nostro maestro e amico) che con grande professionalità e
pazienza ci ha guidato nel percorso musicale che abbiamo deciso di
intraprendere.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La domenica
forse non è il giorno più tranquillo per visitare Lucca Comics con dei bambini,
ma se durante la settimana si lavora non rimane che azzardare.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Una sosta troppo
breve per una recensione adeguata, ma ci siamo trovati bene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">La cornice
naturale è molto rilassante, abbiamo cenato nel ristorante adiacente all’hotel con
prodotti tipici della zona e la camera era pulita e spaziosa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Prima di
arrivare all’hotel abbiamo portato M a vedere la torre di Pisa di cui aveva
letto tanto sui suoi libri.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Era

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dopo una
buona colazione partiamo alla volta di Lucca tuffandoci nel traffico della
convention.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Il centro di
Lucca è molto gradevole, ma anche molto piccolo e già dal primo mattino era
congestionato.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; color: #302d2c; line-height: 115%;"></span></span><br />

moltissimi </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">cosplayer</span> (<a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay">http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay</a></span> ) in città e M non sapeva da che parte guardare; molti i personaggi a lei noti,
altri sconosciuti ma stravaganti e colorati, altri ancora terrificanti e cupi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Non tutte le
sezioni della fiera infatti sono adatte ai bambini, quindi ci vuole un po’ di
accortezza nello scegliere cosa proporre ai nostri figli.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Considerata
la grande confusione, dopo un giro di perlustrazione, abbiamo deciso di
dividerci, io e M siamo andate nell’area junior e il papà in giro a caccia di
curiosità.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ogni anno
Lucca Junior sceglie un tema intorno al quale girano le proposte culturali e di
intrattenimento del padiglione e, nel 2012, venne scelto come filo conduttore il
Futuro.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nei giorni del Festival si é quindi parlato,
giocato e letto, di fantascienza, di mondi lontani, inventati e possibili, ma
anche di ecologia, sostenibilità e di tutto quanto poteva servire ad immaginare
insieme ai più piccoli un futuro più a misura d’uomo e di bambino.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Futuristici
laboratori, incontri con autori e illustratori, mostre, concorsi, spettacoli
teatrali e giochi sono stati il fulcro delle attività di questo padiglione.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Per M era
perfetto, quindi ne abbiamo approfittato facendo quasi tutti i laboratori,
partecipando ad alcuni incontri e visitando tutti gli stand del padiglione!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lara
Albanese (Parma, 1967) è laureata in fisica, specializzata in scienza e
tecnologia dei materiali e abilitata all’insegnamento alle scuole superiori di
matematica fisica. Dopo alcuni anni durante i quali ha svolto attività di
ricerca, ha preferito dedicarsi alla comunicazione scientifica divenendo, come
l’ha definita un bambino delle elementari, una “raccontascienza”. Scrive libri
(tradotti anche in cinese e coreano) e articoli per bambini e adulti, tiene
corsi e conferenze, organizza spettacoli e caffè scientifici, progetta mostre
scientifiche interattive, scrive testi per la televisione, svolge attività di
ricerca didattica e partecipa a diverse trasmissioni televisive. Tutto questo nella speranza
di mostrare a tutti come la scienza possa essere anche molto divertente.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">E’ stato
molto interessante e M, pur essendo stanca da una lunga giornata di camminate e
laboratori, era attenta e curiosa.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hanno letto
un po’ del libro “Storie dei cieli del mondo” di Lara Albanese (che abbiamo
subito acquistato!), costruito un astrolabio e parlato di stelle.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">In perfetta sintonia con il
nostro approccio educativo, ho deciso di sfruttare una delle passioni di mio
cognato per una bella lezione sui rettili.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Da sempre mio marito e zio
Mick cercano di trasmettere a M le informazioni necessarie per
avvicinarsi in modo adeguato e senza paura ad un gruppo di animali molto
particolare: i rettili.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">“Come nasce questa
passione? Chi ha un rettile in casa si sarà sentito rivolgere almeno una volta
questa domanda. Non esiste una risposta univoca o comunque un filo
conduttore che accomuna tutti gli
appassionati di rettili quindi mi limito a dare la mia risposta personale.
L'appassionato di rettili trova soddisfazione anche solo nel vedere il suo
animale in buona salute immobile dentro il terrario perché sa che e' in buona
salute, perché ha appena mangiato, perché lo vede crescere, perché ha appena
fatto la muta o perché si ricorda di
quando lo ha portato a casa dentro una scatoletta e durante i primi giorni non
voleva saperne di mangiare. Il vero appassionato parla con orgoglio dei suoi
esemplari e non gli importa che appartengano ad una specie rara o che siano
varietà particolari, sono i suoi animali e ne va' orgoglioso perché stanno
bene, perché magari e' riuscito a riprodurli o magari perché non saltano un
pasto. Il vero appassionato tiene i suoi animali in maniera meticolosa, terrari
sempre puliti, acqua cambiata regolarmente, pasti regolari e cure giornaliere.
Il vero appassionato conosce perfettamente la specie che alleva, la apprezza
per la sua livrea, per la sua indole e le sue caratteristiche e non gli
interessa di mostrare con orgoglio a familiari ed amici che e' riuscito ad
"addomesticarlo". Il vero appassionato e' stato o sa che potrebbe
essere morso, si comporta con prudenza anche con i rettili che conosce, parla
con un contagioso entusiasmo dei suoi animali e li mostra con orgoglio ad altri
appassionati in grado di apprezzarli.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Io non riesco ad avvicinarmi
con naturalezza alla maggior parte di queste specie, ma vorrei che M avesse le
giuste nozioni per poterlo fare senza false paure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">I primi tempi anche per lei
non era istintivo percepirne il fascino, forse già contaminata da errati
preconcetti, ma la curiosità e la nostra costanza l’ha accompagnata e rassicurata
rendendo questo mondo più noto e meno spaventoso. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Giorno dopo giorno, con il
prezioso aiuto dello zio Mick, abbiamo raccolto molti dettagli interessanti
sulla vita di questi piccoli ed affascinanti animaletti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Dall’esperienza sul campo
alla teoria abbiamo fatto delle ricerche sui libri e utilizzato internet per migliorare
le nostre competenze. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Uromastyx è un genere della
famiglia Agamidae (sono una famiglia di rettili lacertidi diffusi nel sud est
asiatico, nelle zone calde dell'Africa e in Australia) del sottordine dei Sauri
(le lucertole nei paesi di lingua latina e slava). </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sono sauri deserticoli ad
attività esclusivamente diurna e si cibano di vegetali, semi, fiori, arbusti e
sterpi. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">La colorazione varia dal
marrone opaco al verde e al giallo, a seconda dell'età e del sesso.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">La brillante colorazione e le
marcature dell'adulto conferiscono un aspetto suggestivo, e questo ha reso una
specie popolari nel commercio di animali domestici esotici.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Possono raggiungere la lunghezza
di 28-32 cm.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sono animali molto attivi
durante il giorno.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Questa specie vive spesso in
piccole colonie.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Generalmente depongono le
uova, con la schiusa dopo 8-10 settimane. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Le uova vengono deposte
nella tana dalla femmina in tarda primavera o inizio dell'estate e le larve
rimangono nella tana per diverse settimane prima di partire per stabilire una loro
tana.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Può vivere per circa 25
anni.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Il pitone reale, detto
anche “pitone palla” per la caratteristica forma che assume se disturbato o
intimorito nascondendo la testa tra le spire, è un serpente della famiglia dei
Pitonidi, originario dell'Africa occidentale.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Possiede un colorito
brunastro con macchie e striature nere che gli donano una livrea particolarmente
piacevole alla vista, inoltre ha una testa dalla peculiare forma detta a cuore che lo contraddistingue
rispetto ad altri boidi. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">È un ofide (serpente) molto
longevo che vive in condizioni ottimali anche 20-30 anni.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">E' oviparo, la femmina
depone in media da 1 a 13 uova covandole per 50-60 giorni fino alla schiusa. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Alla nascita i piccoli
misurano da 25 a 40 cm, mentre la lunghezza degli adulti è compresa normalmente
tra i 90 e i 130 cm. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Il Pitone reale è tra i più
timidi e mansueti rappresentanti della sua famiglia: normalmente si lascia
maneggiare senza alcun problema, ma non si deve mai tentare di forzare le spire
per scioglierlo; comunque, prima di colpire, avverte sempre il disturbatore
soffiando rumorosamente. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Si nutre di piccoli
roditori e <span style="background: white;">mammiferi </span>che uccide per
costrizione, talvolta anche di piccoli volatili essendo un animale
semiarboricolo.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Non è difficile incontrarlo
comunque, specialmente di notte, periodo prediletto per la caccia. </span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

notevoli dimensioni e mantenendo una buona attività anche in età adulta, è bene
allevare questi boidi in terrari abbastanza capienti, per permettere loro di
potersi muovere liberamente e mantenere così una buona tonicità muscolare,
senza divenire obesi e statici.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria","serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-latin;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10pt;">Come tutti i Boa
constrictor, è ovoviviparo, cioè mantiene all’interno di se le uova, costituite
da una morbida membrana e non da un guscio calcificato, sino a quando sono completamente
sviluppati i cuccioli, a quel punto li partorisce già formati ed autonomi,
lunghi circa 40-50 cm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">La pittura con le dita per i bambini è un modo molto
intuitivo e divertente per esprimersi.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Tutto ciò che serve è un po’ di vernice adatta e dei
fogli, si immergono le dita in un barattolo di colore e si fanno scivolare la
mani sul foglio.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Utilizzare il proprio corpo, mani o piedi, trasmette al bambino un senso di familiarità e di fiducia con la materia, creando i presupposti per l'intuizione creativa.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">I bambini imparano a conoscere i colori, ma anche a
realizzarne di nuovi miscelandoli tra di loro.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Per poter creare con i bambini è necessaria
una vernice atossica, ce ne sono di varie marche in commercio, ma molti
genitori amano produrla in casa.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Una della tante ricette:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">- 3 cucchiai di amido di mais</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;"><br />
<span style="background: white;">- 2 gocce di glicerolo (si acquista in farmacia)</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">- 1 /4 di tazza di acqua fredda</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">- 1 tazza di acqua bollente</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">- colorante alimentare a scelta</span></span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">In un pentolino si passa la maizena
con un colino per evitare grumi.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">Aggiungere l’acqua e mescolare bene
con una frusta.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="background: white; color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">Infine mettere il tutto sul fuoco e
far addensare e aggiungere il glicerolo.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">Dopo averla divisa in vasetti di vetro o
ciotole, aggiungere il <span style="border: none windowtext 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: none windowtext 0cm; padding: 0cm;">colorante alimentare<b> </b></span>scelto. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">A partire dai colori primari che si
trovano facilmente al supermercato nel reparto dolci (rosso, giallo e blu) è
possibile crearne altri.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Cambria","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: IT;">Dopo averli lasciati raffreddare sono
subito pronti per essere usati!</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Ricordare che, non sempre, atossico significa che si
può mangiare o bere.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Se il colore si produce in casa non si sta creando
cibo ma del materiale per il disegno e penso che la differenza debba essere
esplicitata chiaramente; certo è che se si dipinge con un bambino che non può
resistere a mettere le dita coperte di vernice in bocca, si dovrebbe
considerare la possibilità di una vernice commestibile.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Ci sono alcuni accorgimenti che possono rendere
l’esperienza più piacevole:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">-La pittura con le dita smette di essere un’attività
divertente se si è preoccupati che i colori vengano mischiati nei vari
contenitori, quindi può essere utile non mettere a disposizione dei bambini il
contenitore acquistato ma versare un po di vernice di ogni colore in
altri contenitori più piccoli, così facendo ogni volta si ritroverà il
materiale per il disegno pulito e riutilizzabile.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">-Comperare dei contenitori di vernice che una volta
utilizzati possano facilmente mantenerla morbida per un altro giorno., non
sempre in commercio si trovano delle chiusure particolarmente pratiche.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">-Quando si pittura con le dita con i bambini molto
piccoli, sarebbe più comodo avere dei grandi fogli di carta, sarà più facile
per loro colorare sulla carta e non sul pavimento e molte mamme
risparmierebbero grandi pulizie al pavimento.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Con M, dopo aver superato lo scoglio del sentirsi sporchi, fu un gran successo!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Sarebbe infine buona pratica accompagnare il bambino
alla sua prima esperienza illustrandogli i vari modi possibili per immergete le
dita nel barattolo, prendendo molta o poca vernice, utilizzando un solo dito o
più dita, facendogli vedere che si otterrà un risultato diverso ogni volta;
inoltre utilizzando una diversa pressione con le dita si potranno disegnare
tratti molto differenti gli uni dagli altri.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Ai bambini più esperti si potrebbe insegnare ad
utilizzare le dita separatamente con diversi colori.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Per gli adulti che volessero osare si potrebbe
prendere esempio da Iris Scott e Judith Braun le loro bellissime creazioni:</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">2011, dopo mesi di letture e preparativi stavamo
vivendo un nuovo on the road sulle strade americane.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dopo aver visitato Boston avremmo dovuto attraversare,
con varie tappe, il Massachusetts e il New York State, ma da giorni seguivamo
attenti il percorso dell’uragano Irene.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Venne divulgato lo
stato di allerta su tutta la East Coast dalla Federal Emergency Management
Agency (la protezione civile americana) ed evacuate le località turistiche
affacciate sull’Oceano Atlantico.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Alcune
aree di New York erano già state evacuate, ma almeno un terzo dei cittadini era
rimasto blindato nelle proprie case, mentre chi non aveva mezzi per
allontanarsi veniva ospitato negli «Evacuation Center» aperti dalle autorità.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">La preoccupazione maggiore era per M.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Decidemmo di anticipare la partenza
da Boston e di ridurre le tappe per arrivare alle Niagara Falls prima
possibile.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Era una giornata di fine agosto ed
eravamo a pranzo a casa di amici a Worcester poco lontano da Boston.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Anche loro si stavano organizzando
per l’arrivo di Irene, la casa in legno scricchiolava colpita dal forte vento e
il ticchettio della pioggia si faceva sempre più intenso.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Salutammo presto i nostri ospiti per
allontanarci dalle zone più a rischio ed arrivammo per la notte a Utica nel New
York State, ma eravamo solo a metà strada.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sarà stata l’apprensione da mamma
o l’acquazzone che ci ha accolto al nostro arrivo, tipo quelli che
solo nelle Keys avevamo attraversato, o sarà che alla tv si parlava delle
“code” di Irene che sarebbero sopraggiunte nella notte o il torrente di fianco
all’hotel che cresceva...ma io non ho dormito molto serena quella notte!</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Il giorno dopo arrivammo alle Niagara
Falls ed eravamo fuori dal raggio di Irene.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-color: white; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Solo dopo qualche giorno, tornando
verso est, attraversando Vermont e New Hampshire, ritrovammo Irene con i segni
devastanti che aveva lasciato sul suo cammino.</span></span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">A seguito di questa esperienza,
mio marito ed io, come genitori, siamo stati messi, ancora una volta, di fronte
ad una sfida, quella di discutere un argomento così complesso, come un disastro
naturale travolgente, con nostra figlia.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Come prima cosa
abbiamo cercato di darle delle informazioni scientifiche: cosa sono i
cicloni tropicali, la differenza tra uragani, tifoni e tempeste tropicali o
cicloniche, come funzionano, dove si formano e molto altro ancora.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In secondo luogo, ma
non meno importante, abbiamo preso in considerazione l’aspetto emotivo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">In molti casi quando
i bambini sono spaventati il contatto fisico è la prima cosa che può
rassicurarli, ma ogni genitore dovrebbe conoscere il proprio bambino da sapere
quali passi seguire per fornirgli il giusto supporto.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Durante il percorso
in auto sotto la pioggia, le abbiamo raccontato ciò che stava succedendo, per
aiutarla a metabolizzare il susseguirsi degli eventi e, al termine di
questa avventura poco piacevole, le abbiamo esposto le possibili conseguenze
che sarebbero rimaste per molto tempo sulla terra che era stata calpestata e
nei cuori delle persone coinvolte.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alcuni punti di
riflessione:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">1 . Creare un
ambiente aperto e solidale dove i bambini, una volta pronti,<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span> si sentano a proprio agio a
porre domande.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">2 . Dare ai bambini
risposte e informazioni oneste.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Mentendo loro si può
influenzare la loro capacità di fidarsi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">3 . Usare parole e
concetti che i bambini possano capire in relazione all'età, alla lingua e al
livello di sviluppo.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">4 . Essere pronti a
ripetere le informazioni e le spiegazioni più volte.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alcune informazioni
possono essere difficili da accettare o capire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Fare la stessa
domanda più e più volte può essere anche un modo per chiedere rassicurazione.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">5 . Riconoscere e
convalidare i pensieri del bambino , sentimenti e reazioni.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">6 . Ricordare che i
bambini tendono a personalizzare le situazioni.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">7 . Essere
rassicurante , ma non fare promesse impossibili.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">8 . Aiutare i bambini
a trovare il modo di esprimere se stessi.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Alcuni bambini
possono essere più propensi ad esprimersi attraverso le immagini di un disegno,
attraverso il gioco o a scrivere.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">9 . Lasciare che i
bambini sappiano che un sacco di persone si stanno attivando per far fronte
alle conseguenze dell’evento.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">E 'una buona
occasione per mostrare ai bambini che, quando accade qualcosa di spaventoso, ci
sono persone pronte ad aiutare .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">10 . I bambini
imparano osservando i propri genitori ed educatori.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saranno quindi molto
interessati a come noi si risponde agli eventi del mondo e alle conversazioni
tra adulti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">11 . Monitorare i
sintomi fisici tra cui il mal di testa e i dolori di stomaco.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Molti bambini, come
altrettanti adulti, esprimono l'ansia attraverso i dolori fisici.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">12 . Terminata la
situazione di allarme, parlare con i ragazzi degli effetti della calamità sulla
comunità può aiutare a mettere le cose in prospettiva.</span></div>
