How To Teach Kids

 Swimming is not only a very useful training to prevent child drownings but it is very beneficial to increase the respiratory and lung capacity of children and encourage psychomotor development. Every year, especially during the summer and on vacation, the cases of drowning children increase. The best way to avoid this is by teaching them to swim as soon as possible. Babies can begin to have their first contact and lose their fear of water through midwifery,  a modality that allows parents to dive into the pool and perform simple, fun exercises and games with their babies. But what happens when the baby grows? How can we teach him to swim and move through water without parental help? Here are some tips. 1. Losing fear The first thing you have to achieve is that the child loses his fear of water and feels safe. The sooner your child becomes familiar with water, the better. You can start in 3 months. If the baby's first contact with water is with his parents, he will feel confid...

 Swimming is one of the best sports for children. Not only does it represent a very useful training that reduces the risk of drowning, but it also contributes to expanding their lung capacity, promotes oxygenation, and stimulates children's psychomotor development. In addition, it improves the coordination of movements, strengthens the muscles, and favors their ability to move. And if that wasn't enough, it is an excellent exercise to relax children, while helping them to sleep better and get more rest. However, many times parents wait until their children are older to start them swimming. However, the truth is that the younger they are, the faster they will learn to swim. This is because they still retain the apnea and swim reflex, an involuntary response from when they were in the amniotic fluid inside their mother's uterus, which will allow them to function more easily in water. Another great advantage of teaching them while they are young is that they will present less ...

 Literacy is the child's first contact with formal education. In the process, she learns that studying is a stimulating and rewarding task, or, depending on the methods and explanations adopted by her educators, she learns that studying can also be a tiring, boring and unproductive task. For this reason, it is very important that you, father, mother, or educator, know the correct methodology for literacy and organize your classes based on the right principles. If you are looking for complete literacy material, check out our Training 1 (click here): didactic material specially developed for teaching reading and writing. How to begin? First, try to understand the perspective of the illiterate child. What does she think and feel when she sees a text? You can get a rough idea by doing the following exercise: Can you say what the title of this newspaper headline is about? Probably not. To begin to understand, someone may have to show you a related image and explain what each symbol mean...

 Children's literacy is a long process and, to be developed in a healthy and productive manner, you should consider several points. It is essential to ensure that this period of life has adequate conditions for the absorption of knowledge, both in a behavioral and technical way. One of the main points is that forcing the child to do some task is not at all advantageous - like forcing reading, for example. Over time, these “forced” activities will be associated with punishment, increasing the child's disinterest. One of the main ways to encourage children 's reading is usually at home. During growth, the child has his parents as a reference and is inspired by his attitudes and way of life. Therefore, when the child sees his mother reading, the child will become interested in the activity and gradually start to acquire reading habits. The beginning of literacy Some parents do not know the healthiest methods on how to teach a child to read and can, indirectly, cause the child...

 Throughout the centuries, Western society has been in charge of accentuating the differences between boys and girls. Boys are taught to stay strong in the face of adversity, not show their emotions and defy dangers while girls have been instilled with the idea that they are the 'weaker sex', allowed to be more emotional and He repeats that their task is to become perfect women. Fortunately, in recent years we have made huge strides in terms of gender equality, but it is difficult to erase at a stroke the sexist ideas that we have carried over different generations and that, although we are not always aware of it, can represent a drag on child development. That explains why even today some parents continue to tell their children that “men don't cry” and that they should not be afraid, while girls are educated to look perfect at all times as if they were princesses. In a study carried out at Columbia University, researchers evaluated the coping strategies put into practice b...

 Learning to read is not so much a question of age but of maturity. Therefore, not all children are prepared at the same age. When it is, progress will be very rapid. At what age should children begin to read and write? Our legislation says that in Primary, that is, at 6 years. That does not mean that before they cannot know the bases of it. In fact, both the traditional method - which at 3 years old begins with graphomotor skills to practice writing movements - as well as the global and constructivist method - which teaches words and texts from the age of 3 - work on this subject in Preschool. The Montessori method insists that learning to read and write is an ongoing process that takes place in parallel with brain development. Children go through sensitive periods that make them very reactive to certain teachings. Taking advantage of these sensitive periods that occur between the ages of 3 and 5 makes the child learn more easily, more effectively, and with greater motivation. Ext...

 During the Christmas holidays, I have remembered through a sudden flash of my memory, that pilgrimage through the open days of the schools of the Infernal Village the year in which we had to school my little bug. Our preferred center, a priori, was ruled out during a personal interview with the director by exactly 2 points: children with diapers were not admitted there, because in 35 years of history no 3-year-old child had ever urinated on himself (mine would begin on school with 2 years and 10 months and with 2 and a half years we had not even started the diaper operation, which generated many doubts in this area); and all the children of that school could read and write when they were 4 years old. Not one more day, not one day less. It may be because I am naturally at ease with this upbringing, but this restriction of such strict dates seemed so unreasonable to me that we no longer had anything to talk about there. We ended up in a semi-hippy learning community where 3-year-old...

 Why should I read to my baby? You may be wondering what are the advantages of reading to a baby. Your baby won't understand everything you are doing, or why you are doing it.  But reading aloud to your child could be a wonderful shared activity that may persist for years, and it's a very important encouragement. Read out loud: teaches baby to speak introduce concepts like numbers, letters, colors and shapes in an exceedingly fun way develops listening, memory and vocabulary skills gives babies information about the globe around them Oddly enough, by the time babies reach the primary year of life they need already learned all the sounds necessary to talk their linguistic communication. The more stories you read to your baby, the more exposed they'll be to more words and therefore the easier they're going to be to talk. Hearing words helps form an outsized network of words within the baby's brain. By the age of two, children whose parents speak to or read to them fre...
