The course is about to end, but with the high temperatures we are having - to which children are especially vulnerable - every day it becomes more difficult to go to school. With school yards at 40 degrees and classrooms above 30, what can parents do to help our children fight the heat during their school hours?

The most common image tomorrow in the houses with children is that of the little ones opening one package after another, tearing the wrapping paper at full speed to quickly discover what it contains and move on to the next, between cries of surprise and happiness. And that's the key: be happy. Therefore, we must ensure that the day is perfect, that nothing obscures the magic of the Magi.

Learning to walk should be very difficult, especially keeping your balance on two feet. It must be so complicated that you need to spend all day practicing. And that's what my baby Arturo is almost a year old. He only wants to practice “bipedación” during the day. As it happens to some babies he has not wanted to crawl, and now is when he begins to do so while taking his first steps taken by hand.

The paper mache is a very useful paste for an infinity of crafts. For those who do not know, papier-mâché is a technique that uses paper and glue to shape sculptures and modeling that, when dried, becomes rigid according to the shape you have given it. Today I will explain how to make homemade paper mache, using only flour, water and salt.

A 7-year-old boy has just passed a chemistry exam that serves as a reference to be able to enter the university, normally it is the 16-year-old who take this type of exams. Little Ainan, a native of Singapore, already showed his great skills when he was only three years old, and at that time he was especially interested in hyperdimensional shapes drawing the shadows of these figures in two dimensions.

More and more centers are beginning to eliminate duties. Lola told us a few days ago: on the one hand, they are not necessary to learn, on the other, they are increasing school inequality. Even so, we are far from seeing how they are definitively eliminated and, meanwhile, children continue to come home with duties of various kinds.

Experts from the Spanish Fertility Society (SEF) have warned that 70 percent of 35-year-old women living in Spain do not have children, because motherhood is getting longer and longer. The age of women causes them to have increased Fertilization rates in Vitro (IVF) and fertility preservation.

There are many food products on the market that are presented to us as optimal companions to the children's diet, but that are not as healthy as they might seem. They are the false "friends" of the children's diet, those that appear as ideal in advertising but not personally squeak the ads of certain sweets that talk about calcium or the vitamins they provide, not to mention fats, sweeteners and others components that don't sound so good and that would obviously make them less attractive.

This afternoon we heard a curious conversation in which a child proposed the distribution of toys between Santa Claus and the Three Kings. One pair of toys would bring one and the other toys the other. The explanation given by the little boy was that in this way he could fully enjoy the Christmas holidays (not with these clear words).

It happened in the United Kingdom, where laws against tobacco use and child protection have recently been enacted. In the last year the cases in which Social Services have to take care of child custody have increased by 10%, although it seems that this is the first case in which the excess smoke has been taken into account as another factor more when assessing the ability of parents to meet the needs of a baby.

Facebook (for those who don't know it) is a social tool. A website that acts as a social media management where anyone can register to search, find or make friends. Last year Stephanie Knapp Muir, a user, posted a picture of her breastfeeding on her profile and it was removed without warning because she considered herself obscene.

When we decide on porting and start very cold days it is ideal to have a garment that keeps our mother and baby warm. My magic bag's porting coat is a simple and elegant solution, designed especially for moms who love to carry their babies attached to them in the coldest months of winter, or during those autumn and spring days in which It's really cold without overdoing it.
