“So far, things were going great, but you arrived and it all started to go wrong.” This is the typical comment grandparents make when we go to pick up the children. Sometimes we interpret that the child behaves worse with their parents, but, as Dr. Montse Arellano, a neuropediatrician from the pediatric service at Hospital Universitari Mútua Terrassa, points out, in many cases the opposite is true: "It is with them that they feel much more secure”. Children spend a large part of the day striving to adapt to school, with other adults, with friends... And there – Arellano states – they tend to behave more reservedly because there are rules and less trust to express what they feel. In reality, a boy or girl letting loose in the presence of their parents and not others, she points out, is usually "a reflection of emotional security", given that they know they are in a trusted environment where they can show themselves as they are, even when they are tired or overwhelmed.

Ramon Madaula says that being a father is like playing seven and a half: you either go over or you go short. He most likely says this after many lost games (and just as many won), and that's why he wrote the play Loop, which is currently being performed at Espai Texas in Barcelona.

Before becoming the father of my first child, I had a number of issues related to fatherhood that, whether due to prejudice or lack of information, I was very clear that I would not allow. No cell phones or tablets (especially when we go to restaurants), I would wear earrings, the animals would be called by their name (nothing wow neither miaves) either I wouldn't kiss them on the mouth. And this is the last point I want to talk about here.
