When children throw tantrums they are never scolded or punished: the parents explain to them the consequences of what they have done and together they get out of the temporary crisis. Kate Middleton has often demonstrated the benefits of this technique in public, such as with little Louis on the occasion of Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, and she has always been very sensitive to the subject, so much so that she has just launched the project Shaping Us, which focuses on childhood.

Our experiences, relationships, and environment at that young age shape the rest of our lives. It is a time when we lay the foundations and building blocks of life. It’s when we learn to understand ourselves, understand others, and understand the world we live in,” she continued.

After the launch of the initiative, the sharing of a beautiful photo of her as a child, together with her dad Michael, was an opportunity to ask followers to share an image from their childhood. And many have responded to the appeal, including celebs.
