A Fear College (MammaGiulia and Madrechiara)
Madrechiara and soniediego do not get along very much – between brothers it is rather normal -, but lately they are really exaggerating and their continuous clashes create great disarray in the house. Mammagiulia and Papàantonio can no longer, and in the end Mammagiulia blurts out: “If you don’t stop I send you to the college!”. She is not intent on doing it really, but to make her warning more convincing, she looks for a real college on the internet (which, among other things, does not seem bad not bad) and by mistake she crushes the registration button!
The morning after a school bus presents himself in front of the house, ready to pick up Chiara and Diego to take them to a place that proves to be very different from expectations: the college of Dr. Klaus really brivers, as well as hiding a lot of secrets and being frequented by mysterious and rather disturbing characters …

The red thread of emotions (Roberta Tessaro)
When you become parents, you are overwhelmed by a vortex of intense and contrasting moods: joy and fear, love and frustration, tenderness and anger. Feeling overwhelmed is normal, but we often scare ourselves, convinced that feeling certain sensations is wrong or that we should not show them to our children. So, we try to control them, hide them, sometimes even deny them. And if for us adults emotions can be difficult to manage, for children they are even more.
They too feel fear, anger, sadness, but often they still don’t have the words to tell them. When they scream, cry or close in silence, they are just trying to tell us something. To help them, we must first learn that emotions are not obstacles to avoid: they are precious forces that guide us and teach us.
