Summary of the week from June 19 to 25 in Peques and More

It seems that we are leaving atmospheric instability behind, although we still find some surprise in the form of a shower and fresh air, which is appreciated, by the way. But what is already a reality, is that the children are already on vacation: a time when my children dream throughout the course, and I celebrate, because I feel happy to see them relaxed. Haste is over in the morning (for all parents, whether or not they have super powers), and at least children should not look at the clock more than when they are with their friends and it's time to return.

Summer brings us many good things: a more pleasant climate for those who are afraid of the cold, the possibility of playing with children who do not see during the course, night excursions, bike rides, more family time, the inflatable pool on the terrace ... It is time to enjoy, and also to take precautions, and this time we have focused on recommendations to use firecrackers more safely, because these gadgets, not small ones, cease to be dangerous in certain circumstances. Summer is also mosquito time, but we may have an additional ally in Calmaven, especially if we are away from home and do not want to carry anti-swelling creams, or other more or less cumbersome remedies to use.

With the end of the holidays, the activities arrive to fill part of the free time (The rest is not necessary to occupy, because we all want to leave our minds blank and give us the opportunity to get bored, and children also like to make their own plans, and these do not always coincide with ours). And it also comes a little (for my children that little is reduced to very little) of longing for the companions who will not see regularly, if you want a good idea to be reminded, look at this proposal of Magic Labs, who say they convert a photo of the group in puzzle

And as I said, most parents think at some point in scheduling activities, from here we usually help a little by giving ideas. For example, how about going to the cinema to see Monsters University?, Although we can also take advantage of reading 'The Nicanor's Box', or go to see the Skylanders Giants at some point in their tour of Spain. And if we talk about toys, we should know that Barbie has been released with the building blocks. In case of wanting activities close to Nature, we will be in contact with National Geographic, because from their store in Madrid, they enhance contact with real animals through their workshops.

As of now in Peques y Más we forget (although not quite) of schools, subjects, exams, teachersHowever, we always like to show relevant news, like this one that tells us about a student who has validated the Bachelor's degree from Orange School, thanks to Epysteme. And we loved knowing that some Primary children have promoted the Declaration of Locality free of Circuses with Animals for the Alicante municipality of Alcoi. Within this section, I also have to tell you that all parents who are busy reviewing textbook listings, or taking care of them, they must be attentive to book exchange or recycling initiatives, like this one presented to us by the Department of Education of the Generalitat Valenciana: Llibrey.

In this days we had two interesting interviews: we talk to Antonio Fumero, who tells us about incorporating Humanism into the Information and Communication Society; and also with Rodrigo Ron (director of the 'El Chupete' Festival), who reflects on how advertising should be directed to children.

Last but not least, I would like to mention 'How are you?', The application for children to develop their empathy, and the arrival of 'Let's Clan' to encourage learning English through children's television programming.

I say goodbye until next week, we will be in July, and some of you on vacation, rest, enjoy, and if you need to buy children's clothes or shoes, review these proposals from Sfera and La Compagnie des Petits.
