The week in Babies and more: from December 31, 2007 to January 6, 2008

Last week, just like the previous one, they were somewhat atypical, the Christmas holidays have taken over our tasks and our children have requested and deserved our attention. But again we made a brief weekly summary about what happened last week in Babies and more, although not very loaded with news, some have surprised us. We begin with our best wishes, which we wish from Monday, December 31, the last day of the year. The editors of Babies and more we were preparing the New Year's Eve celebration, reuniting with family and friends, and also with you through the network wishing you a Happy 2008 year. By the way, to start the year it is a good idea to have the Dormilones Calendar 2008.

Changing to other types of topics, we report on the finding of why the difficulty of reading suffered by dyslexics, which is related to an alteration of brain gray matter, we have also been able to know an interesting measure that can save thousands of children In underdeveloped countries, it seems that treating children with pneumonia at home is an effective measure as indicated by the WHO and, interestingly, a study has managed to link body defects to cancer.

An issue that worries despite the large amount of information that can be accessed, is that children do not receive the necessary education about healthy habits, by the way, in relation to this news we must indicate that there are high levels of cholesterol in a 22% of Spanish children. An interesting documentary that aired on the television channel Four entitled, Living with weapons, Daddy, buy me a Kalashnikov!, Showed us a harsh reality, the close relationship between weapons and children in North America. On the other hand, the proximity of technology with children has caused the French Ministry of Health to request moderation in the use of mobile phones with children.

We have been able to meet interesting gifts that may be useful and entertaining for our children, Casalino chair, another design children's chair or the publication The comics of our childhood, a book that compiles all those comics that made us enjoy, dream and entertain us.

An effective measure has been what we have known through the news Bars of Great Britain limit alcohol to parents who go with children, do not want to practice childcare, but in one way or another benefit the children, brake is put on the craving for parents who go to a bar with their children.

And finally the long awaited night of Kings arrived and with it the arrival of the Magi to the Spanish cities, the next day millions of children fulfilled their wishes and sweetened their palates with sweet coal, another gift offered by their Majesties. After enjoying and playing with the toys, the food arrived and to culminate the celebration, the traditional Roscón de Reyes. It has been a pleasant week, especially for children and parents we have been able to fully enjoy their joy.
