Dite: “è faticoso frequentare i bambini”. Avete ragione. Poi aggiungete: “perché bisogna mettersi al loro livello, abbassarsi, inclinarsi, curvarsi, farsi piccoli”. Ora avete torto. Non è questo che più stanca. È piuttosto il fatto di essere obbligati ad innalzarsi fino all’altezza dei loro sentimenti. Tirarsi, allungarsi, alzarsi sulla punta dei piedi. Per non ferirli.
