It was a very hot summer, probably one of the hottest in decades. Perhaps that is why the cicada decided to dedicate the hours of the day to singing happily under a tree. She didn’t feel like working, she just wanted to enjoy the sun and sing, sing and sing. So that was how her days passed, one after another.

As María Montessori used to say, when speaking with people and especially with children, the voice should be low and respectful… If the voice is raised, it should only be to sing. Children’s brains get blocked when they yell at them, so they don’t learn and feel emotional stress that makes them feel bad. You just have to think about how you react when they yell at you … you probably feel anxiety, anger and rage when they speak to you with a higher tone than normal .. A child does not understand why they speak badly, his brain disconnects from the person who he screams, and worst of all, he can also feel scared.

Until a few decades ago knowing how to read was a privilege since our grandparents and great-grandparents had to start working at an early age to be able to eat. Going to school was not a priority and people who could not read or write abounded. Our parents, the grandparents of our children, it is possible that they can read, some can write, the older ones cannot write but can read … Illiteracy was a general rule due to the circumstances of life in the past. At present, children learn to read, but there is another important deficiency that can cause problems in life … they read well, but they do not understand what they read. This is undoubtedly a problem that should be solved, since reading is fine, but if you don’t understand what you have in front of you, it is of little use to learn to understand the written code.

A book that everyone should read at some point in their lives. The Little Prince was published no less than in 1943 but despite the passage of time, it does not age at all. The phrases in the book The Little Prince are about friendship, loss, life in general … they are values ​​that all children have to know, but also adults, since they are important in life. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of the book, was an aviator and got lost in the Sahara Desert. He was probably inspired by this experience in order to bring the story to life.

Tongue twisters are one of the games of the oral tradition that children enjoy the most. Basically, it consists of a word game in which sequences of terms with the same syllabic ending that are difficult to pronounce are combined with the aim of mistaking those who pronounce them. Without a doubt, it is a very fun game to entertain at home that also brings many benefits to children.
