Three weeks of summer oratory, two of Campus Multisport. “I take a week on vacation, you do the one after. Then maybe, if we do them, we also carve out a few days together”. The organization of summer in Italian families seems an impossible company. “It is the striking example of how in continuity they must always try to amaze, suspended on a thread, exposed – as balanced – to the gusts of wind», He says Adriano BordignonPresident of the Forum of Family Associations. “From March we begin to look for an appropriate solution for the child, or children, so that it is kept and can have a human growth experience during the summer. From there the accounts start on how much it costs ».
Costs of summer centers that are increasing … “A significant outlay that many times erodes in an important way the fee of parents’ income and, in particular, of mothers. So much to induce families to tiring choices between prolonged permits, use all vacation or even dismiss each other because you are unable to cope with the expenses ». Phenomenon that also joins “dear umbrella, bed, refuge or ice cream. If one takes ice cream once alone it can be a supported expense, but if you multiply it by a family with children, you realize that it often goes to mark the possibility of having the holidays ». A dynamic, that on the assistance of the children, who gives us the mark “of a overwhelming country: who would like more people to work, that more women worked, who did more children but then puts families in a situation of ambassadors throughout the summer period». Be that in summer a family does not earn more … “Not only that, there is also another aspect. Companies are investing in welfare, but most of the time it is for those who have children between 0 and 10 years. And this also happens for many other services. The 10 years are the age when discounts ends. All these submade aspects put mothers and dads into crisis ».
Fortunately, it would be said, there are the speakers who at a low price give you a quality proposal. “This is a fact: the experience of summer speakers stands out on the map of summer centers. Accessible from an economic point of view, they cover from the morning to the late afternoon with level human content and a respectable youthful participation, activating boys who would remain inactive. All this makes them become a top experience that should be more supported ». Especially in a country where we are more and more mobile and therefore less and less we have a network of proximity around and in which we become parents later and therefore we cannot rest on the grandparents …
“Data in hand, they speak to us of 177 euros per week on Florence, 189 in the North, 162 euros in the center, 134 in the South with territorial disparities. If you multiply 170 by four, it makes about 700 euros. For a person who perceives 1,500, it is an unsustainable figure ». And we are thinking of a single child … «also because the reductions for the brothers are minimal. It would be necessary that significant and stable resources were intended to support birth and employment and their positive integration. Also because we have this very stressful summer race, but the school books to buy and winter activities come soon … ».
The last anachronistic theme is the closure of the school for three months. «And here a question also takes over from social iniquity. In addition, in the age of adolescence and pre-adolessence, we expose the boys to a desert of quality relationships with significant driving figures “. So? “The school calendar must be reorganized, the work of the staff and the buildings are reorganized. And then families must be supported. Everyone must compete to support children who are not an individual good but of the community ».
