OSVALDO POLI

OSVALDO POLI The adolescence is not a disease Osvaldo Poli's tour "The adolescence is not a disease" will stop on August 17 in Forte dei Marmi (LU) on the stage of Villa Bertelli Live. Adolescence is not a disease that must bring with it feelings of guilt, screams, suffering of parents and children, but a beautiful season of life in which young people can mature and learn not to be conditioned by their character. It is a season that requires a rapid update of the parental software; the moment to break the protective bubble in which one would like to make children live. Being a parent of a teenager means accepting the impossibility of saving young people from the effort of growing up and telling them: "I will not spare you the difficulties, but I will help you solve them." This show, born from meetings with fathers and mothers struggling in their role as educators, often tired, disappointed, in crisis or dealing with unruly and rebellious children, is a practical and safe guide to face one of the most important moments in the lives of parents and children. BIOGRAPHY A nationally renowned psychologist and psychotherapist, Dr. Poli focuses his professional commitment on supporting parents and couples, helping them manage relational difficulties and sustain educational ties in the family. His approach aims to promote an authoritative parental role, based on a healthy emotional balance and the necessary educational firmness. Through his numerous essays, including "I am not afraid to tell you no," he invites to overcome maternal guilt, rediscover the importance of the male figure in education, and to empower children on their family duties. His pedagogical reflection aims to transform adolescence from a feared "disease" into an opportunity for conscious growth.
