Mama, it was the best week of my life :)
It was an incredible week. There are a lot of insights that you need to live through. It is important to go out of our comfort zone and to discover again and appreciate these things that we maybe never feel like it's some advantage that we have.
When I asked my son what was his opinion about the Parents & Kids program, he replied, Mama, it was the best week of my life. For me, it's quite touching and deep. And then he asked, okay, next year, what time will we go again? And I just smiled.

If you ask me for the top five moments of my life, this will be one of them.
After five years, my daughter still remembers some of the exercises, and she uses those exercises in her life. She got the concept of planning her life, which is fantastic. She writes the plans every year. She knows what her life balance circle is, and she manages it.
I never thought she got so much out of that time in the program, for example. One day when we were talking, I saw in her diary some of the plans she had developed, and she said, that was very good learning, mom. Yeah, I got quite a lot from that trip.
Could you get this experience in another setting? Probably not! I enjoyed it a lot, and I wish to repeat this time with my son.
