In recent weeks post, I have tried related to the behavior of the kids themes. Now that the holidays are approaching and we spent more time than usual with children, it is essential that we are clear how we deal with disobedience, the How should we punish if we have no choice.
But it is also important not to forget, that your attitude as moms and dads is essential when dealing with children and "deal" with their behavior.
Last week I left a post with you 10 Key to face disobedience. In this post I talked about the 10 things that you must always do if you want your kids will not "go wild".
When moms and dads ask me about how to change a particular behavior of their kids, I always tell them to use positive reinforcement, but it is true that often is not enough and there is no choice but to resort to punishment.
Punishing is not bad, but you have to know how to punish, and the most important: Punishment alone is not effective. Be aware that the punishment try not to change behavior, but eliminate the behavior. When we punish not usually explain to children what to do, but what they should not do. Therefore, it is essential that when we punish, We explain to children what they have done wrong and how they should do it next time.
On the other hand, punishment in isolation is very effective, but when we use it again and again completely loses its effectiveness. So remember that we can not abuse.

When I talk to dads who come to iKidz, the main problem that everyone encounters at home is the disobedience of their children.
This is usually associated with the performance of homework, to discipline around order, to cleaning, the schedules, manners, etc.
It is clear that no one wants a disobedient child, constantly questioning what his parents ask him to do, but we don't want “baby boy” children either, that they always do everything without question, that they do not question anything and that they are not able to make their own decisions, because tomorrow this attitude towards life will be counterproductive.
Get a child to obey us and at the same time listen to their initiatives, your tastes and opinions is a difficult point to find. So in today's post, I leave you 10 keys to trying to reach this point.

Mathematical problems are one of the main difficulties with which the kids are when they enter primary.
The complexity of operations adds that many are still improving reading comprehension. So in many cases even understand the wording find it complicated.
In the post this week I leave 5 activities super simple to do to work problem-solving and mathematical calculations from the 6 years old.

The issue of homework tends to be quite controversial. For a few years now, there are many who defend that children should not bring homework. That they already spend enough time at school, and that we are saturating them with too many tasks. On the other hand, there are those who defend that homework is necessary to reinforce and review what was seen in school, and that there are children who without homework would not advance what they should.
Some time ago I discussed this issue with a post in which he spoke of both points of view. My position on this issue is intermediate. I think it always depends on the student and the educational level in which we find ourselves. But, above all, it is a question of the characteristics of the child.
On the occasion of the celebration of Mother's Day, from Vamos Crecando I want to pay a small tribute to all moms with an article about six women who, in addition to marking a before and after in the history of our country, were mothers.
There are many women around the world who, especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fought for equal opportunities, women's rights, and that they showed that, just like men, they were capable of playing a leading role in areas as diverse as literature, art or science.
They are women who raided the land and fought so that today our role in society is as relevant as that of men.
Today I have wanted to focus on Spanish women and mothers, but obviously I do not forget all those women around the world who fought for gender equality.
I do believe that you can "change the world" and be a mother. nobody said it was easy, but, Isn't it the complicated thing that is worth it? I leave you with these exemplary women!
Friday received the message from a mom Academy, a post he has prepared for his blog. Lorena loves the Montessori Method. He's always coming up with new materials to work with your small, and this time the activity carried out with the book "The Color Monster" loved me. I encourage you to enter into your blog and toméis note. Is fantastic!
Lorena's article gave me an idea about what could speak in the post this weekend. Capitalizing on Saturday was World Book Day, and I've never talked about books or collections of books to work with the kids emotions, This week I leave with you a collection of 30 books that come great. A reading has been said! 😉
Do not tell me you've never experienced this situation: you get to talk to the typical companion profession that only uses acronyms to express. "What if the CLIL is the latest in language teaching, but you use CMC is that you're not the last ... " And you will look ojiplático saying: "Clear, Clear, If you say it…" Obviously I'm exaggerating a bit… Most English teachers are familiar with most of these acronyms, or more than from the acronym with the method to which they refer. But begins to have so many, we find it almost impossible to remember all of them and their meaning.
I was missing a little "directory" with the main acronyms refer to methodologies or tools used in language learning, namely English. That's why today I prepared a post with the main ones that I know and I've found researching a little.

This week I count with a very special collaboration on the blog. I had wanted to talk about nutrition for a long time and its importance in the development of children, but obviously it's not my field. That is why I asked Mª Carmen Díaz Ruiz to give us some advice on this topic., both as a professional and as a mother.
Carmen is a Certified Naturopath, Diploma Nutritionist and Chiromassage Therapist. He develops his professional activity at the Centro Belleza y Salud situation in Madrid.
I leave her!

This Friday I had the opportunity to participate in the Villanueva University Center, at a round table on entrepreneurship in education with professionals of the stature of Teresa Iraburu from Kidsco Infant schools and Eduardo García from Espakeba.
Talking with entrepreneurs like Eduardo and Teresa offers you a unique point of view on the panorama of entrepreneurship in education in our country.
Further, it's an injection of energy to keep fighting, working and see that you are not alone, that the difficulties that I am encountering along the way are common to all of us who intend to change and do something different.
