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.

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.

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.
Last Saturday I had the opportunity to attend the event Grandes Profes, and I have to say that, each and every one of the presentations made me reflect on my role as a teacher and the work I do.
It is the second year that I attend this event, and I have realized that their main objective is not to teach us something in particular, Its main objective is to make us reflect and give us a “kick” of energy to continue fighting for a profession that is less and less valued.
There are many topics that were discussed throughout the day, but the central theme was the ATTITUDE. The attitude that makes some teachers better than others. The ENERGY that makes the difference between exceptional and mediocre teachers, or "less good" as I prefer to say.
But, then, What Makes One Teacher Better Than Another? What has made César Bona one of the best teachers in the world? Is your knowledge? Is your experience?
