9 Keys to success.

9 Keys to success_Portada_Vamos Growing

What makes some people achieve success and some not? O, rather, How we are we to educate a child to achieve success?

From my point of view, success more than a question of competence is a matter of attitude. It is this attitude that make the difference between those who make it big and those that do not.

Those who achieve success are not always the brightest. Surely, if we take stock of his career are not the best notes drew at school, but are the workers themselves, persevering and have something clear: they will fight and work hard to achieve their goals.

Educating future, successful adults is not easy. There are many values ​​that we instill from an early age. Today, I tried to summarize these values ​​in 9 points. Of course, They are not the only, but which, from my point of view, best summed up the path that will take our kids to success.

Which of these values ​​is for me the most important? Hard to say, but perhaps the Optimism has a key role. I've already talked about what is for me the optimism in the past, but perhaps the phrase that best summarizes my philosophy is that José Iribas shared in his article "Reasons for optimism.": "We are more than enough excuses, projects need ".

I hope this helps you infographic on the way to the success of your kids. And not just yours, in yours too.

Learning through play, it's posible!

More than a month ago I opened my little academy. It has been a month of many preparations, nerves, New starts. But I have to say it has probably been one of the best principles of my lifetime.

In September they were 15 kids who started this adventure with me, and today we are more than double. What can I say?

During this month and a half I have been defining the methodology iKidz. I've been seeing what works and what does not work, what more to help kids and do less and have come to a clear conclusion: Learning by doing is fundamental, Learn through play is possible!

So in today's post, I want to share with you some of the activities we have done. From those made with small, until they have older a little bit closer to English.

As you know, I have a small academy, and sometimes it is difficult to get them after a long day of cole the kids come with enthusiasm and joy “an extra hour of class”. In reality, I do nothing magical or special. I think they are common sense things that the teachers sometimes forget.
