Respect towards others

Respect is a fundamental value that makes us have consideration, appreciation and recognition towards someone or even something, taking into account their interests, limitations, fears, condition and feelings.
Knowing how to respect others is essential, as it represents valuing and tolerating differences and understanding that they make us grow. We understand by respect the act by which a person has consideration for another and acts taking into account their interests, abilities, preferences, fears or feelings. Respect is one of the most important and primary actions that human beings can have among themselves because it always means valuing what makes the other different from one another and tolerating those differences in order to live better in community. Respect can be applied to different groups in society and vary in terms of their characteristics depending on it: respect for children and childhood supposes their protection, respect for freedom of expression supposes their defense, respect for the elderly assumes your constant attention

Dependency on children

A very common consultation in psychology clinics is related to dependency problems in children. This occurs in parents who, in one way or another, believe that their children have less autonomy than they should. Emotional dependence consists of the excessive need of a minor to be with their parents to feel comfortable, comfortable, safe and protected. The process of maturation and development of children consists precisely in becoming independent and self-sufficient. Thus, they go from an absolute dependence at birth, to an autonomous life in adulthood. In the early stages of life, the minor requires her parents for everything; little by little, gradually, this dependence is reduced, until finally becoming self-sufficient.

Teaching generosity to our kids

One of the learnings that children have the most difficulty doing is learning to share. They do not understand the meaning of another person touching their things, playing with their toys, or receiving attention from their mother. They have an exaggerated sense of ownership, in short, they go through a stage of self-centeredness and assume that they are the center of their world. This is even more reflected when children are only children, since attention is constantly directed towards them. But it is normal for all children to have a sense of belonging to their things and that is why we must promote the idea of ​​generosity from a young age.

Teaching kids about space

One of the biggest dreams of children is to be astronauts, to know space, to know the stars and everything that surrounds us in the universe. Look at the sky and be able to understand a little more about the exterior and space. Helping our children understand the universe is one of our greatest missions, we know that when we are little we have multiple constant questions, we want answers and what better way to help explain the universe to our children. It is important to awaken children’s curiosity for science and, above all, for astronomy. With games, experiments or activities we can help the little ones to reinforce the knowledge learned in school and acquire new ones. In the activities we have carried out with children, I have learned that they all carry a little scientist inside them with a tremendous desire to experience and know the world around them and we, as adults, have the obligation to guide them and give them the necessary resources to satisfy their curious minds. This is why we are going to give you some little ideas to do with your children especially during quarantine.

Dreams and nightmares in kids

Have you ever wondered what that dream means that your child relives every night? All children dream, only very few remember what they have dreamed. In fact, nightmares are often remembered, because they interrupt sleep. The child wakes up and at that moment he realizes what he is dreaming about. It is for this reason that most of the dreams or things that children remember in their sleep are nightmares. From my perspective I used to have many nightmares when I was little, they were constantly repeated and I always got to the point where as soon as I went to bed I wanted to define that I was going to dream, I went to bed thinking that I wanted to dream of princesses, flowers and beautiful things; But it doesn’t always work like that, when we are children we have so many things that we do not recognize and they haunt us in the form of a nightmare.

Something that we must teach our children is the value of learning, that is why it is vital to teach them to love school, to enjoy the learning path, not to forget that learning something new is fun and magical, having knowledge of multiple cultures, languages, important people or moments that we have spent in history. Learning allows us to develop, evolve, fill ourselves with valuable information that is somehow kept in our head as knowledge. I comment personally, both my father and my mother when I was little taught me to live around learning, this gave me the opportunity to express myself like no other, many people refer to me as an information jukebox, because when learning and by constantly preparing and exercising my brain, my memory developed in an incredible way. We must remember that the brain is another muscle that needs to be constantly exercised and remember that there are multiple ways to do this to make it constantly fun.

¿Are you happy?

Something that we have been asked at least once in our life is: Are you happy? What do you think you came to this life for? What is the meaning of your life? I tell you that these questions do not always have a clear solution, the time will come when they ask us this and we will not have a direct question, we will not know what to answer. This is completely normal, it is normal to have no idea, it is normal to say no or I don’t know. We do not always have to be happy, we do not have to know what we came to this life for and we do not have to know what the meaning of our life is. By this I do not mean that we should be lost, that we should not know what we want and that we should not be happy, but we will not always be and the time will come when we discover the answer to half of these questions. After all, happiness is that emotion that fills us and comforts us more than ever, but sometimes you have to walk a little more to find constant happiness.
