        ... wealth is not materialism - not in universe (only 5% is about matter) and not on earth (it´s all about education: i.a. as a buddhists, you are happy, if YOU are happy - and not comparing - and NOT buying things you don´t need, with money you don´t have, to impress people you don´t like ... ). I invented the formulas of TIME (as such), SPACE (as such) and DYNAMIC  RELATIVITY ( as such ... relativizing Albert Einstein - and explaining the 95% of astronomy not known up to now:  23% "dark matter" and 72" "dark energy"). Wealth is not materialistic. At least not in universe, expanding since 13.8 billion years, with faaar less problems, than those of the so called "homo-sapiens"...  . "Space" in the 4th ("energetic-") dimension (not in the "low-level" 3-D-version of combating for territories or market-shares), space, is the top of the top targets of universe - and all this is transferable to mankind ... in order to achieve  world-wide-wealth !!!

        NO MORE FUSS AT THE TABLE

        How to heal your child in total safety

        by Lucio Piermarini

        The invention of the finicky child and the on-demand approach to food. Why is my child not eating? Why this loss of appetite? Why must meals always be so such an ordeal?These are just a few of the many questions asked by parents, not only when weaning their children but even when feeding their newborns.Lucio Piermarini, pediatrician and author of the best-seller Io mi svezzo da solo! [I’ll do my weaning myself!], clarifies these and many more doubts from a basic premise - there are no healthy finicky children. The idea of the finicky child is a misconception, for in fact our bodies are perfectly capable of self-regulating the daily intake of food they need from day one.On the strength of sound scientific data and of thirty-years’ professional experience, and in an engaging and accessible style, the author illustrates the mechanism regulating appetite and the way the first days of life connect to and influence later stages of development. He emphasizes the need to respect the right of children to self-determination, illustrates the findings of cutting-edge food science research andexplains the role of the on-demand approach in allowing children to develop independence and appreciation of food.Not a text of pediatric nutrition but a go-to-guide for parents to better understand their children and learn to avoid unnecessary pressures by respecting the child’s instinctive and natural inclinations.
