Do you remember Linus’ blanket? That became famous with Schultz’s Peanuts? Well, perhaps not even its creator knew, but it was a transitional object.
The term is introduced by the psychoanalyst Winnicott, indicating the tendency of children between four and twelve months, but sometimes in a later age, to become attached to a teddy bear, a rag of cloth, a toy that inspires safety, especially before falling asleep and in moments of separation from the mother at home or during your family holidays in Riccione.
Winnicott also notes that many children, while not revealing attachment to a particular object, show a particular sensitivity to sound or light, acts or habits, which play in some way the same essential function to symbolize the relationship of union with the mother.

Who asks “Is it good or bad?“, we say the sun is good in moderation.
Among other things, it keeps the bony capital and stimulates the synthesis of vitamin D, whose anti-inflammatory and anticancer effectiveness is scientifically proven.
