Children from 3 to 6 years old

I'm back to tell you the news we have published in Peques y Más, the blog aimed at families with children from five to 12 years old. If we end the month of July with a lot of heat, August is leaving us with very high temperatures that make us seek the help of fans, water and internal hydration.

This is a hot summer even though a group of French meteorologists predicted otherwise in late May, it is true that in some areas of Spain it has cooled more, and they have been able to enjoy some summer rain. But usually we are looking for the pools and beaches to cool off and have a good time with the children.

These days they have had as undisputed protagonists the Smurfs, whose next film premieres on August 2, and that we can also see in fun games created by Educa. These little blue ones will acquire great prominence in summer, as do the swimming pools, beaches and family trips; and in Peques and Más we know that fun should always be accompanied by responsibility, so the trickle of advice is incessant and from our pages dedicated to families with children from five to 12 years old.

If I remember correctly, the last summaries had been led by the typical summer games that we reflected in Peques and Más, and by accident prevention. So today I would like to tell you the ideas of trips and trips that we have given from our blog that is aimed at families with children from five to 12 years old.

Our readers must have noticed that we have gone to see 'Gru 2, my favorite villain', and that this movie is fashionable: the book with the original script and better scenes, also the 'minions' in Tu Peluche, it seems that suddenly Everyone is watching for that bad guy turned into a godfather. But if you think we have not done anything else in these seven days that I am now going to start summarizing, you are wrong: we have remembered that children can learn a lot when they get in the kitchen with us, we have had fun (and refreshed) with these Homemade paper fans, and we have read Galileo's comic from the 'Scientists' collection.

We return with you again, and we do it to briefly summarize the contents that we have taken to our readers during the last seven days. Our children hardly remember that one day they were in school with their heads in the last exams, while they dreamed of summer vacations, now it is our turn, and yours.

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 children are already on vacation: a time in which my children dream throughout the course, and I celebrate, because I feel happy to see them relaxed.

I return after seven days to tell you the summary of the entries that during this time we have published in Peques y Más. It is very hot (well, sometimes), but that does not take away the desire to inform and give good advice to parents of children from five to 12 years. I think I should start with all the issues related to vacations, heat, and the precautions that we must take in order to ensure that children have a fun, but also safe, leisure time.

Today is Wednesday, so we come back again with our weekly summary, and the first thing I have to say is that as hot days slowly arrive, we are looking forward to cooling off, and enjoying a vacation that - although Short - they will arrive for us to relax a little.

My partner Marcos has finished his six month period dedicated to preparing our weekly summary for Babies and More, and now, with the month of June on the calendar, I arrive to accompany you until the end of November. I will try as in previous occasions, to bring you the best of Peques and More in each week.

This week in Peques and Más we highlight an interview with Aida Antuña of Spanish Up in which she told us about how to start children in the Chinese language and that they are supposed to open the doors to the most spoken language in the world. We also spoke with Ainara Zubillaga of the UCJC who explained that they work to integrate entrepreneurship as a transversal competence in students.

This week in Peques and Más we highlight an interview with Mónica Ruiz, doctor of the allergology service of the Jiménez Díaz Foundation and health expert. With her we talk about allergic processes in spring and that we have to check the food labels. He also informed us about allergies, intolerances, tips to keep in mind and Internet pages specializing in allergy.

This week in Peques and Más we highlight one of Macarena's articles in which he explained that, although we believe that children should be constantly busy and stimulated, it seems that boredom encourages creativity and imagination. And is that boredom, contrary to what many parents may think, is beneficial for children.

This week in Peques and Más we have interviewed Begoña Torres so that we can all know much more about her work as a writer.

We can find Begoña in Boolino where he has already published part of his work in the Storytime section.

And we met Olga and Fernando from El País de los Juguetes who, from the experience of having two children aged eight and six, presented us with this wonderful country that aims, especially, to enhance the creative capacity of children.

This week in Peques and Más we have interviewed Pilar San Miguel of the Montpellier School and the FSIE who leads the Jaque Mate initiative to the School Failure. And it is that chess can be one of the best options to combat school failure because this sport impacts at least five of the eight multiple intelligences identified by Howard Gardner.

This week in Peques and Más we have interviewed Julio Basulto who has told us, among many other things, about how the example of parents is a powerful weapon against the advertising of children's 'food'. And we also speak with Jorge Moreno, ICT coordinator at the SEK El Castillo school in Madrid, which tells us about the development and implementation of the University Baccalaureate Project and shows his extensive experience in initiatives related to education.

In addition, he presented us with the agreement reached by the Sanpol Theater in Madrid, so that the kids discover the history of music, the operation of a Big Band, the musicians that compose it, how the instruments sound, etc.

We return one more week with a lot of information, resources and contents for all those who want to continue learning about those wonderful children from 5 to 12 years that make our lives happy every day. And it is that from Peques and more we bring you a new weekly summary for the whole family. We finish this week starting Holy Week and working at home with garlands to decorate the house.
