3 Refugee schools

Took several weeks going around that would be the first item after the holidays. Do not think I found it easy to decide, I have several issues that I would try, but this post is special.

Cole begins and I'm sure most of your kids have no desire to start, but ye are forward 😉 But this does not happen to other children. There are children who are willing to go and cole, Unfortunately, they can not. This is the case of refugee children, affected by conflicts and wars that are in check much of the Middle East.

Many of these children have been forced to leave their country of origin, without really knowing where they will end.

The main problem is that these little ones are in refugee camps temporarily. Places where living conditions are very precarious and where, In most cases, there are no schools.

Luckly, there are initiatives through being created "schools" in which provide a minimum education for these children.

Today I want to talk about three of these initiatives. I hope to inspire your course starts as inspired mine.

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.

There are many times when dealing with parents of my students issues related to the use of new technologies in the education of their children. Most often it agrees with the fact that new technologies are very attractive for small and generally tend to help your learning and entertainment. But it is also true that there are still skeptical parents to the use of new technologies to believe that the use of these will not let their children develop real skills related to the real world.

Today I want to address this issue because I believe that in this case we can not speak or white or black, but rather a gray scale we can take depending on our goals and interests.
