Listen to them! - Paidós

¡Escúchalos! - Paidós is an accessible and committed essay that serves as an authentic manifesto in defense of childhood. With El Hematocrítico's characteristic sense of humor and lucid perspective, the work proposes a deep reflection on modern parenting.
Drawing from his dual experience as a father and an educator, the author posits the need to reclaim a more respectful approach to parenting, one centered on empathy, active listening, tenderness, and guidance. Confronting the pressure to "do it all perfectly," he invites us to return the spotlight to those who truly matter: children.
Throughout the book, he addresses with clarity and intimacy everyday issues that cause doubt in families: extracurricular activities, the fear of boredom, the weight of backpacks, screen time, the labels we place on children, sexist toys, death, the "helicopter parent" phenomenon, and the violent language we sometimes use without realizing it.
