🌟 Keynote Highlight: Prof. Eugenio Proto @eugenioproto 🌟

In a fascinating opening keynote, Prof. Eugenio Proto explored how parents’ descriptions of their children’s emotional states can differ from how children perceive and express their own emotions. 1/4

Prof. Proto emphasised that his findings highlight issues that deserve our attention, while recognising the importance of careful interpretation. His responses during the Q&A demonstrated both caution and humility—a hallmark of rigorous academic inquiry. 3/4
